A “Sandwich” Edition of RRR # 1,309 August 17, 2025

Submarine Sandwich

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.

So why is there a picture of submarine sandwich featured in the playlist for this week’s show? Well, because a sub sandwich was in the news last week. If you missed it, we’ll fill you in. In other segments, we’ll celebrate Walter “Kid” Smith’s birthday and hear some more lyrics from Edward Madden. We’ll also have a segment about gastropods and how they propel themselves. And we’ll do some throwing. There’s lots of great music and interesting information so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage and prepare to be transported back to a different–and we think better–musical era. Just click the link above to listen streaming online and/or download for listening at your convenience.
