This sounds very cool. I'm going to listen to it this morning. Thanks for the link!
You're welcome, Lisa!
The KPR team have done a phenomenal job in recreating that retro bachelor pad vibe! The podcasts are fun to listen to while surfing vintage sites, or just relaxing. You feel like you are in some jet setter's lounge in the 50s, with the tiki decorations and the mood lighting.
Thank you for commenting!
The Midlife Gals just love it when you all make comments. Aren't we insane? We're having more fun than should be legal! Thanks for dropping by. Now, will you please pass on our link to every other midlifer you know? Evidently, that’s how this blogging thingy works. We have male fans too!

KK and SalGal,
I would be very happy to share your blog link! Blogger is acting wonky right now, though, so I can't add any more blog links to the roll until they get off their sorry arses and fix it!!!
So glad I found your blog! You rock!
I saw that you have been to my blog, so I checked out the link and here I am! I will be looking more often.

Larry,
Thank you for visiting my blog. Yours is one of my favorites from now on, it is phenomenal!
When reading this post, I felt duty-bound to share that this terrific radio show is beamed from right here in my Kansas college town - wonderful KPR and its Retro Cocktail Hour has finally been discovered by everyone! Think of it as our gift to you.
Marilyn,
That is so cool! Thanks for the swanky "gift!"
