Allow me to add a suggestion:
Jean Shepherd, a New York writer and radio personality from the 50s through the 70s, wrote some stories for Playboy magazine, one of which was the source for the Christmas Story movie tale about the Red Ryder BB gun.
A number of those stories were assembled into a book named “In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash”. In my opinion, the book was much better than the movie.
Here he is reading his Christmas story on WOR Radio from 1974:

But I still haven't forgiven Jean Shepherd for a gratuitous (and false) slap he leveled at Fred Allen in his introduction to an otherwise wonderful collection of Vic & Sade scripts. Saying Allen was nothing more than a phony Chinese detective (referencing Allen's Charlie Chan satires, the "One Long Pan" routines) showed Shepherd to be an ignoramus. He didn't need to do that to present Paul Rhymer's genius.
