What happens
The Sundial program on WJSV in Washington, D.C., runs its early morning broadcast on September 21, 1939. The host opens with the weather and the date, then reads a series of local notices and paid announcements. He describes a boat named the Lolita for sale, offers a Pepsi-Cola message, promotes a fashion picture at Loew's Palace Theatre, and gives birthday greetings to local listeners. He also reports on a Leesburg Pike highway improvement campaign and a lost gold baby's locket. Near the end, he mentions rising fur prices and a furrier's sale. The transcript covers only the first part of the broadcast.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
