Edison sat in for another show after being gone for two years a few days ago and it was just like he never left. Come back to us Old Codger. To answer your question, yes we miss you.

I’ve been a huge fan of Courtney T. Edison since first discovering him on the radio when I lived in NYC. I’m very happy that I can now get his shows as podcasts too. The only thing that I ask is: please WFMU let him do more shows! He’s a national treasure!

I am an unapologetic fan of Courtney T. Edison, America’s greatest (and oldest) fill-in radio host. In between the 78s that he insists on playing “like they’re going out of style,” the Old Codger unwinds monologues about (a) how old he is, (b) how terrible culture has been since Sophie Tucker died, (c) how incredible awesome Sophie Tucker was! Now there was a dame!! Here’s hoping more WFMU deejays find some vacation days so I can get my codge on more often!!!
