<p>Earthworms' late, dear, zany friend Jay Schober was one hemisphere - with he dearest friend Jim Findlay - of the St. Louis Brain Sandwich, in the early glory DAZE of KDHX. </p> <p>Honoring Jay, we serve up again this interview, recorded in January 2021, promoting Jay and Jim's memoir, <em>We Never Got To Be Zombies (yet) - 55 Years of Friendship and Fiddling with Fate.</em></p> <p>Jay was a kind, gentle, big-hearted bear-hug BIG guy. Missed and beloved by many who knew him, and MANY more who heard him and Jim carry on, on-air, while snacking on braunschweiger and cheeseballs. Rest in Love and Laughter, Jay.</p> <p> </p>

<p>ALAN - Artificial Light At Night - is <em>surging.</em> Light pollution disrupts health for humans and wildlife, wastes energy and money, and blocks out awe-some Universe views. How to flip the switch on this issue? Dark knights arose in 1988 to challenge and turn this offense to Quality of Earth Life.</p> <p> <img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/66623/ALAN_-_US_2024.jpg" alt="" width="136" height="132" /> <img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/66623/DarkSky._MO_LOGO_2024.jpg" alt="" width="174" height="63" /> <img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/66623/Don_Ficken_-_Dark_Sky_MO_2024.jpg" alt="" width="138" height="137" /></p> <p>Today the <strong><a href="https://darksky.org">International Dark Sky Association</a></strong> mobilizes over 193,000 members and supporters through 70+ chapters in 24 countries, who educate and advocate for protecting and restoring nighttime darkness. <a href="https://www.DarkSkyMissouri.org">Dark S<strong>ky Missouri</strong></a> is the IDA chapter formed in 2018.
