10-27-09 Grain Elevator: The Fall Fund Drive Previously Known As Powersurge Edition
One tremendously outstanding episode of the Grain Elevator with Ron Miller tonight. This one takes place during the annual station fall fund-drive. (Donate online all the time at radiok.org) Now please, don't just hit the "back" button - this show has plenty of really good things going for it, enough to listen to dramatic pledge week breaks from Ron again and again. Some nice songs, some Joe Peterson comedy and even a historical radio drama performance from the Grain Elevator Radio Theatre in the second hour make this one show for the ages. If you do feel the spirit move you to donate after hearing this show whenever, even after the fall fund drive is over, two things. First, thank you. Second, when you pledge, make sure you note on the sheet that you listen to the Grain Elevator, so we get credit for it! (-: Thanks again!
10-20-09 Just Another Night On The Grain Elevator
Sit back and relax with Ron Miller on the Grain Elevator with plenty of americana, bluegrass, country-western and old time songs. Enjoy this second to last AM broadcast of the year (not an especially important fact if you're streaming this online...but if we didn't tell you that signoff recitation half an hour in might be a surprise!) Joe Peterson visits with a few stale jokes and his polka pick of the week and on the 7 PM feature: the early songs of Loretta Lynn.
