Weekend Radio
Sunday mornings at 11

Weekend Radio, that "curiously strange and offbeat potpourri of music, wit and convivial companionship," is a skillful mixture of classical music, cross-over selections and comedy bits presented by program host Robert Conrad -- in his other life known at the even staid and conservative host of the Cleveland Orchestra broadcasts.

Conrad takes his cue for particular programs from Chases' Calendar of Events, an encyclopedia of offbeat happenings, which has resulted in programs about Mole Day (a mole equals 6 x 10 to the 23rd power), Computer Learning Month, Weatherman's Day, and National Chicken Month.
