Center Stage: An Abandoned Albums PodcastMURRAY ATTAWAY of GUADALCANAL DIARYMurray Attaway, the distinctive voice behind Guadalcanal Diary, helped shape the American alternative rock landscape of the 1980s.

Though the group never reached the heights of some of its Athens, Georgia, contemporaries, the band's influence quietly rippled across college radio and beyond.
Murray recently joined us in Thunderlove Studio to discuss the band's origins, his creative process, and the enduring resonance of Guadalcanal Diary’s music.

Key Battles of American HistoryGuadalcanal (Key Battle 4), Part 4After the failed October Japanese attack on Henderson Field and the American fleet’s repeated prevention of Japanese efforts to reinforce and resupply the island, the Japanese army on Guadalcanal became increasingly hungry, disease-ridden, and depleted in numbers. After successful American attacks on the eastern part of the island (the “Long Patrol”) and the key position of Mt. Austen in the center of the island, the Japanese commander faced two alternatives: evacuate, or be wiped out. What would he choose, and how would it work out? In this episode, James and Scott answer this question and many others as they wrap u...2021-07-2147 min

As a result, no fewer than three naval engagements occurred in these two months: the Battle of Cape Esperance, the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands, and the epic Naval Battle of Guadalcanal. Also, in late October, two Japanese forces launched another attack on Henderson Field, the American airfield. Would the attack succeed?

In this episode, James and Scott discuss the planning and buildup toward the Guadalcanal campaign, the initial American landing, and the...2021-06-3046 minThe Aviation Medals of HonorS2E4: Marines over Guadalcanal, WW2: Part 4 - Captain Joe Foss (continued), USMC, F4F Wildcat pilotConclusion of Captain Joe Foss' story.
