What programs do you like?
Another was a Truth or Consequences done in the fashion of This is Your Life where an injured young military man is healing at the hospital and is brought through the magic of radio hellos from friends and family back home, only the family and his girlfried/fiance are just outside the door. Very touching.
Another is Phil Harris where he gets Jack Benny to play Santa for his children. Also I have one where Basil Rathbone plays Scrooge and Edgar Bergen has Candace on to recite the Night Before Christmas and Charlie thinks Candace is gunning for his job. A particularlly funny line is when Charlie refers to Candace as a pint sized Lucille Ball.
The collection comes from a former radio station I used to work for that changed formats and discarded the tapes. I had given them to my son who enjoyed them as a youth. We used to travel to Florida to visit with my now ex-wifes parents over the holidays (ooops, I'm creating a war on Christmas, so Christmas and New Years :) ) and would listen to books on tape and these radio programs. At age 23 he still listens to them at the holidays and lent them back to me so I could make a copy.
I'm not a regular listener to the shows, but if I hear one on radio I'll listen. I also enjoyed the CBS Radio Mystery Theater when it was playing in the 70's and 80's. Once in a while, I hear a station playing one if I'm traveling.
