Radio Nothing 2233

This playlist covers Radio Nothing #2233
The Difficult But Yet Not Impossible Edition
broadcast on 89.5 FM - WPKN in Bridgeport, CT
and on 88.7 FM - WPKM in Montauk, NY on
Thursday, January 24, 2008 from 6h00 to 10h00


This edition of Radio Nothing marks the end of the regularly-scheduled Thursday morning incarnation of the program. It is with profound regret that I find it necessary to conclude this 20 year run in this time slot. However, for the foreseeable future, I must commit to other endeavours.

I am also concluding the regularly-scheduled Monday morning incarnation of the program, wrapping up a series that dates back to April 1987. The final Monday edition of Radio Nothing will take place on January 28, 2008 from 2h00 to 6h00.

After that – hopefully – you'll hear from me from time to time as a fill-in for someone else's shift. So, Radio Nothing itself is not exactly going instinct; more precisely, it is simply reducing its frequency.

Thank you for listening to the program and for all your calls and e-mails. I deeply appreciate that kindness you've shown in letting me know how much this show has meant to you.


This playlist is divided into two sections: the first section is a listing of events as they occurred in the program; the second section is the source material (Cassettes, Compact Disks, LPs, etc.) in numerical order based on the Ref#. The Ref#s in the first section are linked to those in the second section, the list of source material, for quicker access. (To return to the first section after perusing the second, just scroll up the page – the "back" button in your browser is also likely to do the trick.)

The "Ref#" is a library number – either that of the WPKN library or of my personal collection or other source. Numbers in boldface like "7h05" mark (French notation) the starting time of a microphone break to provide listeners with information, news, weather, and other inane babbling.

The source listing includes the names of the performing artists; the title of the album; whether it was a CD, LP, cassette,etc.; the date of publication; the serial number; and label information such as (when available) addresses, telephone, fax numbers and links to e-mail and web sites. The label information is usually only as timely as the publication date of the source material – so you may have to do additional research on your own if this information is out of date.

Any questions or comments? – Please contact me via e-mail at: Rod@radionothing.net

Thanks for your interest.

Regards from your host,

Rod Richardson
