In his return to WNYC airwaves, veteran broadcaster and resident WNYC Radio
curmudgeon Steve Post has proven as irascible and distinctive as ever. This
week's episode offers a back-to-school special (always affordable, we never
say "cheap"). Steve recalls a youthful encounter with his fifth grade
teacher, Miss Sperba, and plays music of dubious relevance featuring Billy Holiday,
Bessie Smith, Ethel Waters and anyone else who occurs to him. Steve will also
meditate upon the meaning, if any, of some current catch phrases to which he
objects.
