Such a cool historical thing I (re)found. :)

I am the queen of web searches. I remembered this really cool radio program about the end of World War II that was broadcast on NPR a few months ago. I heard it while I was driving back from the cardiologist, so I knew it was after March and before June. And that's all I could remember about it. :P Well I tracked it down. :) Turns out it was broadcast in May.
It's over at MPR, and you can listen to it in two parts on RealPlayer. This guy is so awesome. He's got this great 50s voice and accent, and the little music in between times is great. But the broadcast itself--celebrating V-E day--is really something I think everyone should hear:
"On A Note of Triumph"
Scroll on down to May 8, 2005. The two segments combined last almost an hour.. so turn it on while you make dinner or something. :)
