 Humorist Jean Shepherd (1921-1999), creator/narrator of the holiday movie favorite A Christmas Story, and author of numerous other works of fiction and television, had a long and stellar career on radio and was heard most days during the period of 1955-1977 on WOR radio in New York, a clear-channel station heard along the Eastern seaboard and points west. Shepherd s radio work was both unique and transitional in the development of today s talk radio. Shepherd could talk, and talk he did, touching his listeners intimately as if speaking to an audience of one. Shepherd was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2005.
 The radio programs in this collection, long lost and forgotten, were created in the mid 1960 s by Shepherd for radio and television syndicator Hartwest Productions in the format heard on Shepherd s WOR shows of the day, right down to his familiar Bahn Frei theme music. 
 8 Audio CDs - Digitally Remastered and Restored
 Each program is approximately 44 minutes. Total running time approximately 6 hours.
