Yeah. Stan Freberg's last show, after 13 years as host was Friday, October 6, 2006. It featured the Jack Benny Program of January 8, 1950 and his own Stan Freberg Show of July 28, 1957.

Stan was preceded by Art Fleming as the host of WRW.

Chuck Schaden out of Chicago took When Radio Was over beginning with the October 9, 2006 show. His first offering was Freberg's very first show of 7/14/47 and his 12th show of 9/27/57. Near as I can recall, Schaden's last show was 9/9/07, his last offering a personal audio tape interview with Parley Baer. I think WRW did not offer any shows until...

Greg Bell, the current host, took over. I believe his first show was 11/15/07 and featured Philo Vance of 11/15/49 and Bill Stern Colgate Sports Newsreel of 10/24/42.

Oops. See above post. WRW can be heard in their archives which goes back a little over a week. WRW just changed the format of how they offer the shows this week and I noticed it wasn’t working earlier today.
