    NOTE:  In response to the novel coronavirus pandemic, KBCS has indefinitely suspended all new volunteer programming.  In other words, I won't be producing any NEW "Straight, No Chaser" programs for a while.  The March 16 program was new, although pre-recorded.  In the upcoming weeks I expect the station will rebroadcast some older programs.
