Big Broadcast WAMU Schedule for Christmas 2015

If you know me, you know that I am a fan of public radio, a superfan of The Big Broadcast, and a super-duper fan of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar.

Well, I heard on my local NPR affiliate that there would be classic radio show programming from the 20s-50s on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day thanks to The Big Broadcast with Rob Bamberger.

I couldn't find the list on WAMU's website so I sent an email to both the Big Broadcast and to the Programming Coordinator, and I received a personal email from the new host of the Big Broadcast himself, Rob Bamberger.

While I miss Ed Walker so much since he passed earlier this year, Rob Bamberger is a worthy heir apparent. So, here it is:
