Weekend Radio
Robert Conrad
This hour-long show is a skillful mixture of classical music, cross-over selections and comedy bits. It is hosted by Robert Conrad and airs Saturdays at 6 a.m.
Conrad takes his cue for particular programs from Chases' Calendar of Events, an encyclopedia of offbeat happenings, which has resulted in programs about Mole Day (a mole equals 6 x 10 to the 23rd power), Computer Learning Month, Weatherman's Day, and National Chicken Month.
Some of the unique and rare items that he presents have become so popular that the audience forces him to repeat them periodically over the years. These include Wayne and Shuster's Shakespearean Baseball Game, What Goes Up, Must Come Down (a description of how to fly a 747
from England to New York) and a Freudian explanation of football.
A popular feature of the program is This Week in the Media, a contest that awards prizes to listeners who send in errors they find in the media.
Also presented each week is Marginal Considerations, humorous audio essays by Cleveland writer Jan C. Snow on such topics as The Life Cycle of Socks, Zucchini Control and The Non-existence of Rutabagas.
