It boggles the mind that the work is already a hundred years old.

I'm fond of WETA and impressed by the on-air talent, including the host for this evening, David Martosko, who is a relatively recent arrival in the line-up.

David Martosko IS recent, and I've not been listening 'live,' but on-line while I'm also trying to watch msnbc.
