Holiday Memories – Mid-Valley Mutations: Recent Episodes

In Search of The Christmas Ghosts of The Mid-Valley! (Ghosts III)
WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat
We complete our trilogy – started in October with In Search of The Ghost Hunters of The Mid-Valley, continued last week with In Search of The Christmas Ghosts of The Mid-Valley, and completed here, now, with two more hours – and a full holiday ghosts tale – mixed in for your enjoyment. Since the dates lined up, I present a 45 Minute edit of a radio show I mixed live nine years ago, on the same date, distilling the show down to its raw essence. Since I got my timing off, I close with a live MicroGranny jam, that brings us to the end of the year, and beyond.
Be Seeing you!

Holi-Day & Date New Year’s Fun! (Week 5)
WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat (The Digital Salon)
We forego our regular shows this time of year, and for this program, offer you a variety of holiday tidbits, all originally aired on this same date, but many decades before.
First, we offer you the comedic stylings of Duffy’s Tavern, as the cast try and work out what they should do about some missing Christmas cards. (Dorothy Shaye guest stars to sing a song and flirt with the lead.) They we’re off to Hawaii for an episode of Hawaii Calls, as the perform traditional Hawaiian songs, and a few New Year’s tunes as well. Bill Stern gives up a New Year’s Sports roundup, with Jack Benny along for the ride. and finally we hear a New Year’s centric episode of Quiet, Please, to properly horrify you before bed.
It’s two hours of vintage holiday broadcasts, ready for you this holiday season.

In Search of The Christmas Ghosts of The Mid-Valley! (Ghosts II)
WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat
It’s another journey deep into the lore and experiences of those who have seen or are haunted by apparitions, this time with a slight holiday component to the show. After debuting two new tracks by The Giant Worm – which were recorded days ago, and submitted to this show by the band – we pick up where we left off back in October, where we were In Search of The Ghost Hunters of The Mid-Valley. Now, we add a BBC broadcast of holiday ghost stories into the mix, along with music, a call from WebHamster Henry himself, and, plenty of Mini-Mutations. It’s a cut-up take on the Christmas Ghost Story, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Holi-Day & Date Christmas Fun! (Week 4)
WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat (The Digital Salon)
We forego our regular shows during the holidays, and for this program, we offer you a variety of holiday fare, all originally aired on this same date, but many decades before. This week our theme is: Jack Benny?
First, it’s an episode of CBS Town Hall Tonight, a variety show with music and comedy, hosted by Fred Allen, and featuring Jack Benny. After some brief Revelations, we offer a Christmas 1946 transcription disc from the Grandpas’s iPod blog (essentially a 1946 “Christmas mix tape”). We close the show with an installment of Jack Benny’s program, The Jell-O Show, where they get into their usual holiday shenanigans.
It’s two hours of vintage holiday broadcasts, ready for you this holiday season.

Holi-Day & Date Christmas Fun! (Week 3)
WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat (The Digital Salon)
We forego our regular shows during the holidays, and for this program, we offer you a variety of holiday fare, all originally aired on this same date, but many decades before.
This week, we air an episode of The Good News of 1939, a variety show with music and comedy, and a performance by Lionel Barrymore, recreating some key moments for A Christmas Carol. Voice of The Army brings us a unique (and somewhat unusual) broadcast, Christmas Harps, with harp-renditions of Christmas classics. Finally, we bring you a story from the anthology program, NBC Radio City Playhouse, with a story that is using a very familiar title.
It’s two hours of vintage holiday broadcasts, ready for you this holiday season.

Holi-Day & Date Christmas Fun! (Week 2)
WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat
Continuing our Holiday Anniversary trend, we bring you two more episodes of the CBS Radio Mystery Theater, and a short holiday installment of The Gift of The Magi, which apparently makes everyone else in the world cry, but makes me laugh.

Thanksgiving Leftovers, 2025!
WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat
I had to miss my regular Tuesday show this week, so I picked up a shift to cover for Don-O, and offering three house of Thanksgiving Leftovers: all albums and records that I’ve been meaning to get to this year, but hadn’t appeared on the show yet. It’s a MOSTLY all vinyl show, but I really just play whatever I want, and enjoy it the whole time. Now you can, too.

Smoke Two Joints In The Morning: 420, Too (A Danksgiving Special!)
WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat
Since many of us are stuck visiting with family that we don’t particularly want to see this time of year, we decide to take a radio “walk” out behind the garage, and huff down a couple j’s, soaking in another massive dose of stoned audio adventures, combined with some Thanksgiving Recipes by Martha Stewart, herself. All part of our annual Thanksgiving Shenangans, that works well fresh from the oven, or parsed out over the next couple weeks.

20 Minutes Into The Future: That Dr. Demento Sensibility (“Merry Christmas Santa Claus,” Chrysalis Records, 1986)
(Recorded on 9 November 2023; 1 September 2022.)
Once your star is ascending, it’s only a matter of time before someone realizes that the next logical step is to have your work the holiday angle, with a Special and a Holiday Single that will be on TVs and in stores… just in time for you and your loved ones to spend this special time of year with your new favorite celebrity. And this is how Max Headroom’s 7″ Single — “Merry Christmas Santa Claus” b/w “Gimme Shades” — came to underwhelm all of us in 1986.
Heather is really hung up on the lyrics, and can’t seem to think of anything else.
Austin wants to set the record straight, and thank Blank Johnny in the UK for sending a copy of the single to The Lava Lamp Lounge!

*Giving Everything For X-Mas (by univac & Austin)*
Austin’s Annual Holiday Program For Mid-Valley Mutations takes an unusual turn, as he desperately tries out something new, in an effort to make his show the best in the tri-county area. It’s a Holiday Horror Story, written by univac and Austin! Guest voices! Music! And a story about the places where dreams and technology intersect in the worst possible way.

20 Minutes Into The Future: “What Gives Our Lives Meaning?” (Warner Bros., “Blade Runner,” 1982)
(Recorded on 1 September 2022.)
Probably one of the more legendary and divisive opinions on our show: one of us did NOT like Blade Runner, and one of us is rather fond of it for it’s impact and influence on cinema, culture, and specifically, Max Headroom. Wanna hear us get into it, with a tid-bit recorded with Steve Roberts, who offers his thoughts on all of it?
Heather is reminded of the way certain men like to behave.
Austin argues about Class Consciousness. Again.
