Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness - Ep 148

Ola, Mehico! Welcome and thanks for joining us here at NNVoS!

Sorry I’m late with this post. A slow recovery from an Alaskan vacation is my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

The Vault has gifted us this jewel from July 29^th and 30^th, 1995. This show is packed full of great stuff. So much so that I’ve titled it: “A Treasure Chest of Norm.”

Show begins with Norm speaking to a fantastic guest, Dennis Webb, who co-authored “Greenberg’s Guide to Marbles.”

Next is a wildly interesting caller who tells us about her business...glass blowing. She makes Kaleidoscopes.

Switch next to another call and the subject of children gambling. Trust me, it’s not a serious call.

Next call talks about a guest we had on recently, Joanna Cole, who wrote a book called, “Jump Rope Rhymes.”

Next call brings up Dapper O’Neil and the Irish Belly Dancer

We connect with WERE in Cleveland with Mitch Mann, Rick “Gilly” Gilmore and Steve Wainstead and their show NightTalk. They have absconded with the DBG and play the SBG. They talk all things radio and silliness and Ken Newman from traffic joins the fun too. They take some calls mixing people from Cleveland and Boston like:

Mike the 45-year-old virgin from Cleveland

Tim from Franklin

Drew on WERE

John in his car who was chief engineer at WJUL University of Lowell radio station

Pete/Bill/Phil? on WERE

Katie in Malden

There’s a new show on WERE and Elvis tells us all about it

And some Wacky Police Blotter News

Moving on we are back to Norm solo with a couple of unknown callers to go along with Ruth The Molasses Baby and Shirley asking for info on Jump Rope Rhymes.

Now we leap to a weird segment that’s pitched down.

There’s a quick call and then Jack Harte is under attack?

Closing with a sponsor read by Jack that kicked open the door to his Broadway career.

There’s a lot more so just sit back and enjoy this piece of broadcasting excellence.

Ep 148, A Treasure Chest of Norm, begins now!
