At 2 PM (EDT) Beatles Blast brings you an hour of the infamous Star Club recordings from December, 1962 (although when they first surfaced, the folks releasing them said they were from April of that year for legal reasons).

These are notoriously low-fidelity recordings, of historical interest only to the most devout fans of the Fab Four. Luckily, that’s our core audience. Tune in for curiosity’s sake only.

Beatles Blast can be heard every Wednesday at 2 PM, with replays Thursday at 11 PM, Friday at 1 PM,  and Saturday afternoon. A two-hour mini-marathon of classic episodes runs every Monday evening, starting at 11 PM.

At 3 PM (EDT) on Curtain Call, Mel Larch  delivers her annual Tony Awards nomination special. Every May Mel Larch brings her listeners a special episode of Curtain Call devoted to the Tony Award Nominees for Best Musical. This year it’s a rather mediocre crop of nominees, and we had to put the show together despite there being a dearth of cast recordings.  Still, we manage to let you sample each of the four nominees for Best Musical and the three nominees for Best Revival of a musical.

It’s a little hard to take the Tony Awards seriously after they failed to nominate BOOP! The Musical last year.  This year the nominated musicals are not particularly impressive.  Two of them seem like overlong SNL sketches.

This year’s nominees for Best Musical are…Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York), Titanique, Schmigadoon and The Lost Boys: A New Musical.  

Following the songs from the nominees for Best Musical, we get a taste of the three nominees for Best Revival of a Musical.

The 2026 Tony Awards will be broadcast on CBS and streamed on Pluto TV and Paramount + on Sunday, June, 7.

Curtain Call can be heard on The AIR Wednesday at 3 PM, with replays Thursday at 8 AM, Friday at 10 AM, Saturday at 8 PM and Monday at 9 AM. A two-hour mini-marathon of classic episodes can be heard Monday evening starting at 9 PM, and an all-night marathon of Curtain Call episodes can be heard Wednesday nights, beginning at Midnight.
