Welcome back to another exciting episode of NNVoS hosted by the guy you’re listening to right now…Tony Nesbitt.

Today’s episode, which btw, is a NNS from June 11th, 1995, had some of the ingredients that made Norm’s show so great. An entertaining guest and a plethora of calls from our wonderful listeners. So much so that I have titled it: The Highlight Reel-to-Reel (Vol. 2)

We begin it all with a one of the Show Open Themes and then Norm interviews our guest: Dr. Myles H. Bader author of “4001 Food Facts and Chefs’ Secrets.” An excellent conversation on just some of those hints is clearly enjoyed by both Norm and Dr. Bader. He also mentions, at the time, his new book – “To Supplement or Not to Supplement.”

And then it’s on to caller galore! Some with names, some without.

There’s a Caller who want Norm to reboot Sounds in the Night

Bill visiting from England

Myster Caller

Karen asking about the Old-Time Radio talk Norm would travel around and do

Ken asking about Middleton, MA 

Next hour – Opening Theme 

Chauncy

French Canadian Caller

Brian

No-name Caller

John with a heavy Boston/NE Accent – very interesting

Unknown Caller

Paul from Malden

Joan in Tewksbury!
