It's basically a radio station for the fictional town of Night Vale, and it's... well, it's pretty bizarre. Lots of strange and inexplicable things happen and are duly taken in stride. I'm not explaining it very well, but it seems like it would be right up your alley. You can listen to it for free on iTunes, Stitcher, or Feedburner.<br />Enjoy!MaraKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07263286031677141488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-90731231167676255012013-07-18T14:59:20.106-05:002013-07-18T14:59:20.106-05:00Thanks.

I have been curious as to why KDKA in Pittsburgh had a K, but too lazy to look it up.Barbwirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17375742473254773675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-27101701680682210712013-07-18T07:19:47.439-05:002013-07-18T07:19:47.439-05:00Fiixed.

All of the United States Navy and Coast Guard Radio Stations (mostly ships) began with (and still begin with) the Letter "N". During and before World War Two, the Army used the letter "W" for War Department, but what it currently uses, I do not know. <br /><br />I would suspect that the letter B was allocated to Great Britain, the letter C was given to Canada, the letter D was given to Germany (for Deutchland), and the letter F was given to France, among other allocations.DaBrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-5131972666064948492013-07-18T02:31:20.514-05:002013-07-18T02:31:20.514-05:00Wow, Stan, I see from the headline that someone el...Wow, Stan, I see from the headline that someone else in the world has a finger that mistakenly double-dips on the letter "i"! But maybe it's just this once. My middle finger does this repeatedly, causing me often to backtrack and edit whatever I type.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
