1/7/09 - No show, WMBR was off the air

We're sorry that "Lost & Found" was not broadcast today, due to a problem with the controls for WMBR's transmitter that caused the station to go off the air. The problem has been fixed!

January 1, 2009 (New Year's Day Evening) Three Hour Lost & Found-like Show w/ Host Bob Dubrow

'Tis the holiday, and some WMBR jocks needed fill-ins...so I was happy to oblige and air a Lost & Found-like program from 10:00 pm - 1:00 am. The theme will be apparent to you from the playlist. It was VERY quiet, the phone didn't ring until 2 1/2 hours into the show...with a request from an enthusiastic listener for "November" from the 1993 Tom Waits album The Black Rider...unfortunately not in our record library. Were you listening?
