Harry Shearer on The Bob Edwards Show…
If you’re an XM Satellite Radio subscriber (and if you aren’t, you should be), check out today’s The Bob Edwards Show - although most of the interview deals with Shearer’s television and film career, there is a section at the beginning where he talks almost reverentially about The Jack Benny Program, and the cast members. He noted he thinks often about the professionalism of that program when dealing with the Sturm und Drang of modern sitcoms. (For Edwards fans, there’s also a familiar music sting to take us into the first break…)
Remember, the online stream is now included in the monthly price, and the Edwards Show is “looped” all day on the online Channel 133; also repeats on the satellite service at 9:00pm Eastern, 6:00pm Pacific, and alternates among the rest of the week’s shows during the weekend on the online service, so you should have no problem hearing the program.

I heard the ME music; sent Bob an email. Hope Bob’s team had permission to it :-) Wouldn’t want to annoy the NPR management, now would we?
The only thing that would have been sweeter would have been for Bob to intone, “The time is nineteen minutes…past the hour…” –cfs3

Ooh, I like Bob’s show very much! Great thanks!
Really? Wow, that’s great. Although I have one question for you; how exactly do you listen to it in the Ukraine, when XM Satellite Radio is only available in the lower 48 United States? (This comment was posted from IP 195.58.242.169, feel free to do the lookup yourself.)
Could it be that you wanted to spam the blog by including an URL with a whole bunch of self-references to boost your scam-site’s Google rating?

See what kind of garbage I need to put up with every day?
