An "Ecstacy" Edition of RRR # 1,361 August 16, 2026

Welcome to Glenn Robison’s Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t not tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78 RPM records of the 1920s and ’30s.

Do you know who this lovely lady is? She was born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler, but you know here better as Austrian-American actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr. You'll find out a little bit about one of her first films in the third segment of this week's shoe. In other segments, Harry Akst and Mike Markels have birthday segments. Well also engage in some ecstasy (no not that kind, the other kind), listen to some naughty records and have another Rapidly Rotating Records vocabulary lesson.

There’s lots of great music and interesting information so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage and prepare to be transported back to a different–and we think better–musical era. Just click the link above to listen streaming online and/or download for listening at your convenience. THANKS FOR LISTENING! ENJOY THE SHOW!
