Hour 1

:00 - Program opening, sponsors, and "the man who is on the short list of Jewish candidates..."

:01 - All The News That Isn't - Plus a little story about a Rural Letter Carrier attacked by a monkey...

:05 - Guest Interview--Author Bill Bryson

:27 - First we'd like to meet the folks that John Thulin invited to the show today. Once the introductions are over we'll all enjoy John and Jeff playing "I Should Care."

:37 - In the audience Michael meets Ardith who is about to have her 36th wedding anniversary, and Judy from Orange City, Iowa who is looking for advice on raising her adolescent daughter. If you're one of the Dutch folks who settled in Iowa, or if you'd like to pick up a nice farmer at the farmer's market, stay tuned...

:43 - The Four Disclaimers and the Whad'Ya Know? Quiz with Chad the skateboarder and Tom from Des Moines. If you're up on what is raining in England, where to put on a sharkskin suit, and what the Japanese won't give up, then you're on your way to the motherlode of prizes...

Hour 2

:00 - Program opening, sponsors, and "the man who thinks family vacation is an oxy-moron..."

:01 - Thanks for the Memos--Another one on bodily functions

:03 - Hotline--The Wisconsin Quarter

:15 - John and Jeff probably won't be the faces on the Wisconsin quarter. At least we don't think they will. It's better to enjoy them musically on this tune from John's repertoire of pieces...

:23 - It's an interesting trip into the audience for Michael. First there is Francis from Floyd, then there is a mother-in-law who needs a kiss. Listen in and see just how far Michael will go...

:34 - The Whad'Ya Know? Quiz with Jill and Jane. If you're a scholar of ape hangers, the calendars of the Mayan, Navajo, and Hellenic peoples, and what percentage of students plan to live with their parents post- college, then it's a winning quiz for you.

:55 - Town of the Week--Waldron, Arkansas
