Jean Shepherd on KYW Radio
Philadelphia
circa 1953

Here's a partial transcript of one of the WLW shows

 


 

These pictures were taken around 1953 during a local Jean Shepherd broadcast. Many people were not aware that Jean did an area talk show on KYW Radio. It was the last show Jean did at the “Town Room” of the Sheraton Hotel at 39th and Walnut Street in West Philadelphia. If one looks very carefully at "the Jean Shepherd Show" sign, you will see a real Lily flower just on top of the word show. Broadcast Pioneers member Bud Galow says: The Cutie female whose face you can clearly see is my first wife Fay Galow. She died quite suddenly in 1989 and I have since remarried..
