And still, those little things remain
from HEY, VENUS! RADIO · host Hey Venus Radio
Achoo! Ooo. Excuse me. The gods of summer have made themselves clear, it's gonna be hot, and it's here to stay; a sweaty sneezy splendor comes our way. Which makes me think a lot about...hot air -in a very different sorta way though. Ballooning. An aerial extravaganza that once took the world by surprise. Join me as we explore the history of a balloon of strangely eccentric shape (circa 1783) which measured 74 feet and weighed in at 1,000 pounds. It’s these wondrous little discoveries which give our hearts their wings.This episode also features over an hour of music including tracks by Mildred Bailey, Danai, Binnie Hale, Liza Minnelli, Melanie Safka, Ella Fitzgerald, Annette Hanshaw, and many other gems from our archives.

Sally...may you rest in peace, and please visit us soon.And, if you're tired of the usual pretentious and placid happenings 'curated' by Angelenos, we wanna let you know -you've come to the right place. Because at Hey Venus Radio, we're not here to kiss ass. We're here to provide you with the necessary companionship and unusual discoveries pulled from real life; full of mischief and allegory.
