Classic Radio Theater features great radio programs that warmed the hearts of millions for the better part of the 20th century. Host Wyatt Cox brings the best of old radio classics back to life with the passion of a longtime -- as in more than half a century -- fan. We're talking about shows like Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Suspense, Gunsmoke, Fibber McGee and Molly, X Minus One, and many more that decades later still create great entertaining theater of the mind. Classic Radio Theater is keeping America's love affair with classic radio alive! But more than just "playing the hits", Wyatt supplements the first hour of each day's show with historical information on the day and date in history including audio that takes you back to World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. Reagan, Carter, Nixon, LBJ. It's a true slice of life from not just radio's past, but America's past.

When we are young, the entertainment we experience becomes the background kaleidoscope of our lives and forms our ideas about the fun life can be. As we mature, so does our taste in what we watch and listen to. Even so, we are always building upon this foundation of our youth. ​ In many ways, this enjoyment gives way to the responsibility of marriage, family and careers. The memories of our formative years are boxed up and stored in the attic of our minds. We believe that it's time to climb that attic ladder, retrieve those dusty boxes and experience the laughter and joy of our past once again. ​ Everything Old is New Again is a unique radio show that revisits entertainment and pop culture of yesterday, juxtaposed to today.

The Food Show

2:00pmSaturday

2:00pmSaturday

Tom Fitzmorris has been covering the food scene in New Orleans for nearly 50 years. Starting out at the Driftwood newspaper at UNO, his first dining column ran in 1972, and it reviewed The Flambeau Room, operated by Peter Sclafani. A few years later he realized a dream of talking on the radio right here at WGSO. But in 1988 he got a call from Mary Ann Connell, wanting to talk to him about a radio food show. In July of that year The Food Show debuted on WSMB radio, and Mary Ann had a show right after that. Six months later these two married, had two kids, and moved to the country. Mary Ann retired from broadcasting and Tom did nearly 32 years of The Food Show on WSMB amid all the various changes of formats and call letters that followed. In April of 2019 another of Tom’s dreams was realized when Mary Ann joined the show as co-host. A year later the show moved back to AM radio right here on WGSO. Visit their website nomenu.com and Instagram page, @theneworleansmenu. Tom has written a number of books, most notably Tom Fitzmorris’s New Orleans Food, Hungry Town, and The Lost Restaurants of New Orleans, though The Eat Book, celebrating 30 years of publication, remains a personal favorite. Mary Ann has her own book, about her passion, family life. It’s called The Suzie Homemaker Chronicles, based on a newspaper column she wrote for eight years. She also has a separate podcast called Emmie The Story Lady, on Spotify and all other platforms.

Science Fantastic

7:00pmSaturday

Dr. Michio Kaku is the host of Science Fantastic. He also is one of the world's leading experts in theoretical physics, and according to New York Magazine, one of the "100 Smartest People in New York." Listeners from all walks of life tune in to hear Dr. Kaku discuss today's hottest and most relevant scientific/cultural topics covering everything from black holes and parallel universes to hip, provocative discussions on philosophy and the latest technology. At any given moment he will quote not only Einstein, but Woody Allen, proving that Science Fantastic is not just for the science junky, but for anyone who has ever pondered the cosmic question of existence, as well as those interested in the latest technological trends and techno-gadgets. "People are curious about science despite unhappy experiences in school," says Dr. Kaku. "We grind it out of them with dull rote-learning_ We're all born scientists until we hit junior high school." Dr. Kaku is the co-founder of string field theory, one of the main branches of string theory, the leading candidate for the unified field theory. Many in the scientific field call this "The new Copernican revolution." His goal is to complete Einstein's dream of a "Theory of Everything" to derive an equation, perhaps no more than one inch long, which will summarize all the physical laws of the universe." Dr. Kaku explains, "The theory of everything is necessarily a theory of Creation, that is, it must explain everything from the origin of the big bang down to the lilies of the field."
