The
Swing Shift Shuffle is a radio program of swing, big band, jazz, boogie woogie and other popular music from the 1930's and 40's that airs every Wednesday from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. (US Central Time) on WEVL 89.9 FM in Memphis, Tennessee, with a live webcast at

Boing Boing pointed to a post about the "Lost Lizard People of Los Angeles," from a 1934 LA Times article. Included was a map to the subterranean passages once (allegedly) inhabited by such beings. Those were the days when news was fit to print!
