First, as Mark mentioned in Clubland Q&A, we have confirmed that the brilliant, brave and best-selling author Naomi Wolf will be joining us on the upcoming Mark Steyn Cruise in April. If you haven't booked your tickets yet, please do it today to ensure access.

Second, a warm welcome to all our new and returning members from California, Connecticut, Georgia, Japan, Louisiana, Michigan, New York, Ontario, Pennsylvania, Quebec, South Carolina, Texas, Victoria and beyond!

Renewing member Gail from Ontario says:

My birthday present to myself!

Linda, a new member from Florida, writes:

Mark we miss hearing you on the Rush Limbaugh program...So we thought to subscribe might fill the void...

Brent from Hertfordshire adds:

I am renewing in appreciation of Mark's efforts to save Western Civilisation. He is being persecuted on our behalf...

Indeed. Mark fights on with your help. Your investment in the club, cruise, store and gift certificates is critical and appreciated.

Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark:

~ On Sunday Steyn's Song of the Week celebrated "Lilac Wine" by James Shelton.

~ Mark's Monday Notebook continued the question, "What's Going On?" featuring "The Pheasant Plucker's Mate".

~ On Tuesday Mark observed the fourth anniversary of Hunter Biden's "Russian" laptop in his appropriately titled column: The Last Copier in the Woods Arrives Sooner than Expected.

~ The most read piece of the week was our action replay of Mark's Clubland Q&A in which Mark fielded questions on November's Margin of Steal, the cosiness of the Prince of Wales and Dame Jacinda Ardern, and sundry topics in between...

~ Laura's Links rounded up the internet with a focus on "The New Masculinity".

~ Mark's Weekend Notebook covered the traditional Al Smith Dinner in New York and the death of Hamas' head honcho. Both events notable for their lack of support from VP Harris.

~ On Saturday Mark Steyn On the Town featured a delightful homage to James Bond.

~ Later Rick's Flicks reviewed Roy Ward Baker's 1967 classic British sci-fi film Quatermass and the Pit.

A new week begins later today at 5:30pm BST/ 12:30pm ET with Steyn's Song of the Week at Serenade Radio.

Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian readers and Happy Columbus Day to our American readers!

Yesterday, despite the unusual rain, there was an enormous parade in Madrid commemorating the day in 1492 when Christopher Columbus claimed the Americas for Spain. (Yesterday also marked the premiere of a new Spanish documentary that purports to prove that Columbus was not from Italy but rather was born in the western Mediterranean and was Jewish according to DNA analysis,,.)

Midst the weekend's celebrations, some are already thinking ahead...

Renewing member Margaret writes:

Hello again from not so sunny Wrexham, North Wales, UK. Just renewing my membership. An early Christmas present to myself.

Merry Christmas, Margaret!

And, Jane from Florida notes upon her renewal:

I was on the first cruise, and going again this year.

We look forward to seeing you and others on board, Jane!

Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark:

~ Steyn's Song of the Week celebrated one of the greatest songs of all, "The Way You Look Tonight", written in 1936.

A new week begins later today at Serenade Radio with Steyn's Song of the Week at 12:30pm North American Eastern Time/ 5:30pm British Summer Time.

New member William from North Yorkshire writes:

You are the only fearlessly authentic voice of sanity in our benighted world...

another new member, David from British Columbia adds:

I've waited too long to do this. Keep on keeping on Master Steyn.

and Hal, a Tennessean residing west of the flood zone, says

I am so grateful for your inspiring work. You are a voice of courage, truth and sanity. You stand up for those that don't have a voice. You stand up for the true, the good, the beautiful. And you have sacrificed much to do it...

We warmly welcome William, David and Hal plus all the other new and returning members this week from Alberta, Bedfordshire, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Brunswick, New York, New Zealand, Ohio, Ontario, Quebec, Texas, Wisconsin and beyond.

If you haven't yet had the pleasure of joining, or your membership has lapsed, we invite you to sign-up today.

One the many benefits of membership includes access to Mark's narrations of classic fiction. Our latest, The Unparalleled Invasion written by Jack London in 1910, is now available in two parts here: Part One and Part Two. Log in to hear this magnificent Tale for Our Time.

Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark:

~ Steyn's Song of the Week was an unforgettable song from an unshutuppable writer on Sunday.

~ Our most read piece of the week - "Underwater" in North Carolina ...and Michigan - brought us Mark's take on an America in crisis.

~ Tuesday's Notebook featured our ever too common "Diversity Stabbing of the Day" segment plus a curious evolution in European "democracy"...

~ Mark returned to the Clubland Q&A microphone on Wednesday where he fielded questions on the vice-presidential debate in America, the latest in the Middle East at the start of Rosh Hashanah and the government response (or lack thereof) to recent flooding.

~ Laura's Links returned with a bang on Thursday with her round-up of interesting links from around the world.

~ On Friday, Mark's Topical Take was inspired by Tim Walz's truly pathetic use of an overused and completely wrong cliche.

~ Over the weekend, club members were provided with their own download of Mark's new show at Serenade Radio - Mark Steyn On the Town - featuring Number One records, songs from France and Nigeria, a bevy of ladies, a number for dictaphone, a very marmitey song, and a memorable ride over the 59th Street Bridge.

~ Later our own Rick McGinnis reviewed Kate Winslet as Lee Miller.

A new week begins later today at Serenade Radio with Steyn's Song of the Week at 12:30pm Eastern Time/ 5:30pm British Summer Time. We hope you will in tune in!

Finally, now is the time to sign up for The Mark Steyn Cruise in April with delightful stops in Spain and Portugal aboard the Celebrity Apex. It is always a grand time with likeminded friends from around the world. We hope to see on board!

First, we send our prayers for those caught in the path of Hurricane Helene. The pictures coming out of Asheville, in particular, are shocking and devastating. Please stay safe.

Gerard, a new club member from Illinois, writes:

Mark, I have been listening to you since you used to come on Milt Rosenberg's Extension 720. I totally agree with you about the terrible state of our Justice system. Swift and blind justice seems to be a thing of the past...

Thank you, Gerard. Here at SteynOnline we miss the legendary Dr. Rosenberg and his brilliant long-form interview style. Sadly, his departure was an early harbinger of what was to become of terrestrial talk radio.... with the death of Rush Limbaugh several years later marking the actual end.

(Yes, you can still turn on the radio and hear the ever-entertaining Howie Carr in New England and our old friend and former colleague Bo Snerdley in New York.)

But, sadly, one by one truth-tellers have been forced out. Other purported "conservative" shows have succumbed to the will of their corporate masters in order to keep their paychecks over the last few years. (It will be interesting to see if even these sell-outs can survive the recent Soros takeover...)

There is no danger of that here at SteynOnline. No one owns Mark. And, no one ever will. That is thanks to Gerard and other new and returning members this week from around the world including from: Alaska, Berkshire, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, London, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, New Zealand, North Carolina, Northamptonshire, Norway, Oklahoma, Ohio, Ontario, Pennsylvania, Singapore, Texas, Utah, Victoria, Virginia, Washington (the state, not the diseased District of Columbia where justice goes to die), West Sussex and Wisconsin (where President Trump's rally has been postponed due to "security reasons"). If you are not yet a member, please join.

Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark:

~ Steyn's Song of the Week started the week off with a bang with a special audio edition celebrating a one-hundred-year-old hit.

~ On Monday, Mark was Talking Trivia on the Cliff-Edge in our most read piece of the week,

~ Tuesday's column took on the inability to speak the truth about nationhood.

~ Our in-house Jewish godmother/ guest host Laura Rosen Cohen asked Where's the Fluff? in Wednesday's Clubland Q&A.

On Thursday, she rounded up the internet as no one else can in her weekly column: Laura's Links

~ In Friday's Campaign Notebook Mark posited that Democracy Dies In ...Secret Service Headquarters.

Later the much-anticipated link to Mark's talk at Hillsdale became available with the hit title: "The Politicization of American Justice".

~ The weekend marked the return of Mark's new Serenade Radio show, Mark Steyn On the Town, with replay available to club members at SteynOnline.

~ Rick's Flicks rounded out the weekend with a visit to Barcelona - from whence we will launch our next Mark Steyn Cruise.

A new week begins later today at Serenade Radio with Steyn's Song of the Week at 12:30pm North American Eastern Time/ 5:30pm British Summer Time.

This week our friends at Hillsdale College hosted Mark for their annual Constitution Day celebration just outside Washington, DC. Mark kicked things off with his talk "The Michael E. Mann Defamation Case and the Politicization of
American Justice" which was warmly received. For those who missed it, we expect to be able to share the recording from Hillsdale later this week.

As new member Karl from Georgia says, "Keep fighting!" - and that's exactly what we do here at SteynOnline with your continued loyalty and support.

We also welcome all our new and renewing members this week from Alberta, Australian Capital Territory, California, Florida, Illinois, Leicestershire, Louisiana, Manchester, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mumbai, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and beyond.

Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark:

~ On Sunday Steyn's Songs of the Week Mark delved further into the connections between the operatic composer Ruggero Leoncavallo and the Anglo-American pop charts.

~ At the start of the week, Mark weighed in on a recent assassination attempt against President Trump here and here.

~ Mark's Topical Take on Tuesday revisited a column he wrote about President Trump and the forces against him in 2016.

~ On Wednesday, Mark was preparing for a talk at Hillsdale College so I jumped in to host this week's Clubland Q&A. I fielded questions on exploding pagers, President Trump and the state of play in our case against the UK's chief censor, Ofcom.

~ Laura's Links returned on Thursday with Laura Rosen Cohen's round-up of stories from around the world.

~ On Friday Mark lamented "The Mounting Toll" of vaccine victims at the hands of a heartless bureaucracy in our most read piece of the week. It was our most read piece of the week.

~ Mark Steyn On the Town was back at Serenade Radio on Saturday, with replay made available to club members here. This week's show was devoted to the music of Jule Styne, a Broadway colossus who also wrote for Hollywood and provided Frank Sinatra with a bunch of Hit Parade blockbusters.

~ Later Rick's Flicks contained a stirring review of Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison starring Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr.

A new week begins later today at Serenade Radio with Steyn's Song of the Week at 12:30pm North American Eastern Time/ 5:30pm British Summer Time.

We were thrilled this week to see so many make inquiries/ sign-up for The Mark Steyn Cruise this coming April. We are particularly excited to have a full contingent of our friends from England who have suffered mightily under the censorship regime there. In international waters, they will be able to speak openly again without fear and in the warm embrace of freedom loving supporters from around the world.

Cabins on the ship are selling fast so don't leave it too late to book. We would love to welcome you on board!

Please contact our partners at The Cruise & Vacation Authority toll-free at Toll Free: 1-844-340-3350 or visit the website at MarkSteynCruise.com.

This week saw the conclusion of Mark's wonderful narration of The Flying Inn by G K Chesterton - a prescient tale of an England in which the elites make common cause with Islam...

All episodes of The Flying Inn as well as our full library of other classic fiction read by Mark himself is available to club members here.

Speaking of club members... we were delighted to welcome new and returning members this week from Alabama, Arizona, Calgary, California, Florida, France, Ilinois, London, New York, Oklahoma, Ohio, Ontario, Tennessee and beyond.

New member Joan from Ontario writes:

Finally made the uncomfortable phone call to the Globe and Mail, to cancel and let them know I want to subscribe to different things. I did my 'both sides' duty for several years, subscribing to the 'newsletter for gay stockbrokers' as a late great friend described it. About time I joined up for the chronicle of our devolution then revolution, or whatever is in store, God help us and God keep you and your retinue Mark.

Another new member also from Ontario Joseph simply says:

Sorry I am so late to join. Long time fan.

South of the border, another new member from Alabama writes:

This is a birthday gift for my husband Jason. We've been fans for a long time. Apologies it has taken so long to become a member of the club! Thanks for all you do!

It's never too late to join. If you've been enjoying what we offer here at SteynOnline, wish to support the continuation of it, and have the means and interest, we invite you to join today.

Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark...

~ On Sunday we remembered Queen Elizabeth II - now gone two years - in Mark's Song of the Week.

~ Mark's Monday column covered the realignment of allegiances in America - making the "Uniparty" literal, with its consolidation freeing up space for an actual second party.

~ Tuesday's Diversity Deathwatch - appropriately titled, Tongue Got Your Cat?, was our most read column of the week.

~ Mark was back at the microphone on Wednesday, fielding questions post-debate as well as on various topics from near and far in this week's Clubland Q&A.

~ On Thursday, Laura Rosen Cohen returned with her famous links from around the planet including a delightful diversion on "krenks".

~ "Duck à l'Orange Man Bad" was the title and topic of Mark's Weekend Notebook.

~ On Saturday, Mark shared a replay of his new Serenade Radio show Mark Steyn's On the Town for club members.

Later, Rick McGinnis returned with his weekly film review: Dodge City featuring Errol Flynn in his first western.

A new week begins later today on Serenade Radio with Steyn's Song of the Week at 12:30pm North American Eastern Time/ 5:30pm British Summer Time.

The Cruise & Vacation Authority reports that cabins are starting to sell out fast aboard the Celebrity Apex - our hosts for next April's Mark Steyn Cruise. If you are thinking about joining us, now is the time to book to ensure the best access to remaining availability.

The itinerary is unique for a cruise in that it includes an overnight stop providing our cruisers with an ample opportunity to explore the beautiful city of Porto - the home of many extraordinary bridges, the famous "Harry Potter" bookstore, and the iconic Clérigos Tower. It is also known around the world as the region from which "port wine" was developed and brought to market - hence the name.

For more information, contact The Cruise & Vacation Authority / The Mark Steyn Cruise Events Office Toll Free at 1-844-340-3350.

Or visit, MarkSteynCruise.com

We look forward to seeing alumni as well as new cruisers on board!

Renewing member Joyce from New Jersey writes:

Love you, Love Laura's Links. Keep up the fight!

Thank you, Joyce for your kind words for Mark and Laura and words of encouragement for what we do here at SteynOnline.

Though there is currently a brief lull in courtroom action - the legal activities and expenses unfortunately continue to mount. Joyce's membership - along with those of our other new and returning members this week from Alberta, California, Illinois, Iowa, New Jersey, Oxfordshire, Tennessee, Texas, Washington (the state not the diseased District of Columbia) West Sussex, and beyond help us to "keep up the fight".

If you are not yet a member, or perhaps let your membership lapse, now is a great time to join. Mark Steyn Club members enjoy many benefits including access to our large audiobook library - Tales for Our Time - featuring classic fiction narrated by Mark himself.

Our current Tale for Our Time - The Flying Inn - written by G K Chesterton one hundred years ago contemplates an England in which the elites make common cause with Islam. It is remarkably prescient and Mark's narration of it is worth the price of membership in and of itself.

Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark...

~ In Steyn's Song of the Week, Mark remembered a dear friend of the Steyn Show musical family, the guitarist Russell Malone.

~ On Monday we celebrated Labor/ Labour Day along with our American and Canadian readers.

~ In our most read piece of the week, Mark dissected the "Post-American World" on Tuesday.

~ Clubland Q&A returned on Wednesday with Mark behind the microphone fielding questions from Mark Steyn Club members around the planet on various topics from near and far, and even essaying a sort of happy ending.

~ On Thursday Laura Rosen Cohen lamented the unspeakable deeds against the hostages along with her roundup of links for the week.

~ Over the weekend, Mark shared a timely Topical Take related to the stranded astronauts, which explored our lost frontier.

~ And, a replay of his new On the Town show on Serenade Radio was made available to club members. This week's show celebrated the centenary of an influential yet all but forgotten singer.

~ Rick's Flicks also kept its regular Saturday night date with a review of the 1942 William Wellman's comedy, Roxie Hart.

A new week begins later today with Steyn's Song of the Week at Serenade Radio at 12:30pm North American Eastern Time/ 5:30pm British Summer Time.

Father Calvin Robinson tweets:

Looking forward to Steyn at Sea.

We look forward to welcoming new and returning cruisers on board!

Happy Labor Day weekend to our American readers and Happy Labour Day weekend to our Canadian readers.

This long weekend is the perfect opportunity to catch-up on Mark's highly prescient and entertaining narration of The Flying Inn by G K Chesterton - a novel published in 1914 in which the elites make common cause with Islam and go to war against the English village pub.

Tales for Our Time is one of the many delights available for members of The Mark Steyn Club. We welcome new and renewing members from across the planet this week - including from Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Israel, Michigan, Middlesex, Morayshire, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, and beyond.

Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark...

(or, as renewing member Alan from New Britain, Connecticut put it simply: "Rock on, Good Sir!")

~ Last Sunday, Steyn's Song of the Week was in audio form - exploring a ninety-three-year-old hit that in the year 2000 was given the Towering Song Award by the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

~ In Mark's most read piece of the week, he continued the Diversity Deathwatch - this time commenting on what happens when you go to a "Diversity Festival" and the "diverse guy" stabs you...

~ Tuesday's Notebook illuminated a pattern that is emerging in this post-democratic era.

~ Mark returned to the Clubland Q&A microphone on Wednesday - fielding questions from Mark Steyn Club members on on various topics from Mark Zuckerberg's mea belated culpa to the absence of opposition to Sir Keir Stürmer in the UK.

~ As always, Laura's Links rounded up the best links from around the world - including a case of Canine Grace.

~ On Friday, Mark reviewed Kamala Harris' first interview since the successful coup and the latest polls since "the proverbial dead cat dead husk bounce."

~ Mark Steyn Club members were treated to a replay of Mark Steyn's On The Town on Saturday - and we heard a song Sinatra sang as a ballad, as a swinger and as a disco number, but which goes all the way back to his very first summer as a professional singer.

~ Rick's Flicks returned later in the day with a review of Allen Baron's ultra-low budget Blast of Silence, released in 1961.

A new week begins later today at Serenade Radio at 12:30pm North American Eastern Time/ 5:30pm British Summer Time with Steyn's Song of the Week.

Finally, an announcement from our friend Sammy Woodhouse:

I can now announce that I will be joining

@MarkSteynOnline

on his cruise in April 2025. I first met Mark when I exposed the Rotherham child abuse scandal, I continued to work with Mark to raise awareness of grooming and exploitation and expose government corruption. I'm looking forward to working with him again and to meet all the other speakers. http://marksteyncruise.com

We are honored to welcome Sammy and our other special guests including: Michele Bachmann, Leilani Dowding, Laurence "Lozza" Fox, Calvin Robinson, Samantha Smith, Dan Wootton, and more to be announced.

Join us as we set sail from Barcelona next April for a delightful - and unique itinerary from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic including an overnight in beautiful Porto on the majestic Celebrity Apex. Book now for the best cabin selection.

For more information, please contact our partners at The Cruise & Vacation Authority / The Mark Steyn Cruise Events Office, Toll Free: 1-844-340-3350 or through MarkSteynCruise.com.

We look forward to welcoming new and returning cruisers on board!

Dave and Sally from East Yorkshire write:

My wife and I are English born and bred and even though we knew things would be bad under the jackboot of our beloved leader even we didn't think things would be this bad so quickly!!

We find ourselves along with friends constantly angry these days at the parlous state of our country with no one in Westminsterland speaking for us or to us other than to vilify us and our genuinely legitimate concerns...

You however are a consummate communicator...often encapsulating how we are feeling and speaking to us and for us in text and in your weekly Q And A. And for us that is no exaggeration... We're living through frightening and dystopian times in the UK so we need your voice in what is quickly becoming a free speech Wasteland!

Thank you for what you do Mark and make no mistake what you do is vital in keeping us sane in this insane world but also with humour because we need to try and keep a sense of humour that's for sure.

Thank you, Dave and Sally! These are dark times indeed. Thankfully, we have Mark to make sense of it all - including through his narration of classic fiction that foreshadowed much of what we are experiencing today. This week our current Tales for Our Time courtesy of GK Chesterton continues apace with The Flying Inn - a tale of an England in which the elites make common cause with Islam. Members can listen here.

Thank you also to our new and returning members from Arizona, California, Essex, Florida, Hassocks, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, Nevada, New South Wales, Nottinghamshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Australia, South Carolina, Utah, Washington (the state, not the other Washington where justice goes to die) and beyond.

If your membership has lapsed or you would like to give it a try, we invite you to join today! Members help sustain our work in these perilous times.

Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark...

~ The definitive mid-century Broadway showtune - "Some Enchanted Evening" by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II was Steyn's Song of the Week on Sunday.

~ Mark's Monday Notebook addressed the proliferating poxy panic porn related to so-called "Monkey Pox" rebranded as "Mpox".

~ On Tuesday, the Diversity Deathwatch continued with Mark's survey of the delightful aspects of "diversity" around the western world.

~ Mark returned to the Clubland Q&A microphone on Wednesday fielding questions on various topics from the Kamala Konvention to the Pakistani Muslim behind the Southport "disinformation".

~ On Thursday Laura Rosen Cohen rounded up her famous links from around the world including an equine twist on her "Human Grace" section.

~ In our most read piece of the week, Mark examined coincidences and the dirty rotten stinking U.S. "justice" system in his Friday column: Asleep in the Deep (State).

~ Later, in honor of Robert F. Kennedy Jr's endorsement of Donald Trump for President, we reposted The Mark Steyn Show with RFK Jr.

~ Mark Steyn's On The Town returned to Serenade Radio on Saturday at noon ET/ 5pm BST.

Plus, Frank Sinatra sings the Sacroiliac Songbook. Members may log in and stream here.

~ Later Rick's Flicks reviewed Godzilla Minus One - a homage/ reboot to Ishirō Honda's Gojira (1954) - that became the most successful Godzilla film ever in Japan and won the first Academy Award in the series' history.

A new week begins later today with Steyn's Song of the Week at Serenade Radio at 12:30pm North American Eastern Time/ 5:30pm British Summer Time.

Welcome to our new and returning members from around the planet including from Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Israel, New South Wales, North Carolina, Ontario, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Spain, Surrey, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and more...

Renewing member Hazel from Kent writes:

I am so very sorry to hear that Ofcom has ruled against Mark. I think he was so very brave to take them on and I wish him all the best. I just don't recognise GB anymore. Best wishes, Hazel

Hazel is not alone. Many don't recognize Great Britain (or the rest of the western world) anymore. That's why Tales for Our Time is a perfect (and timely) respite. Mark's new narration launched this weekend: G K Chesterton's The Flying Inn was published in 1914, on the eve of the Great War. Club members are invited to log in and catch up with our nightly adventure here.

Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark...

~ In Steyn's Song of the Week Mark was joined by Gary Osborne, Elton John's lyricist on such hits as "Blue Eyes" and "Part-Time Love" and the co-author of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds, to remember a very different kind of writer whom Gary knew from childhood...

~ On Monday Mark enumerated the Bullet Points of the latest addition to the Democrat's presidential ticket.

~ In Mark's most read piece of the week on Tuesday he examined just "Another Diversity Stabbing of the Day" in the United Kingdom.

~ On Wednesday Mark was back at the microphone, fielding questions on various topics from the Deep State's desire to kill Trump to Sir Keir's Starmtroopers and their round-up of wrongthinking twelve-year-olds.

~ Laura's Links returned on Thursday with Laura Rosen Cohen's famous links from around the world.

~ In Mark's Election Notebook on Friday, Mark wrote of Harris' likeability factor as well as her attempts to distance herself from her own administration.

~ In this week's edition of Mark Steyn's On the Town, we had questions, waltzes, Swedes ...and tongues. Plus: Sinatra, Lulu, Julie London, the Three Degrees, a cavalcade of Number Ones, and a repurposed mammy song. Club members may access the replay here.

~ Later, on Saturday, Rick's Flicks reviewed the class film: Dog Day Afternoon.

A new week begins later today at Serenade Radio with Steyn's Song of the Week. Tune in at 12:30pm North American Eastern Time/ 5:30pm British Summer Time.

Have you booked your cabin on our upcoming cruise yet?

We are delighted to announce that among our special guests - Mark's former GB news colleagues (and fellow victims of UK censor Ofcom as mentioned above): Laurence Fox, Calvin Robinson and Dan Wootton - will join in solidarity with Mark.

We set sail on April 6th from Barcelona with delightful stops in Portugal and Spain en route to Southampton. This cruise always sells out, so book early to ensure your spot!
