Welcome to Glenn Robison’s Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78 RPM records of the 1920s and ’30s.

On this evening’s show, we’ll have some strange records and some records about strangers, some old records, we’ll celebrate National Spaghetti Day, and get the boot. Well, not “get the boot” in the sense of getting fired, I hope not anyway.
