Show Description

I don't know if I should tell that terrible radio story. Shortened music tracks more nickels in the jukebox! Cornerstones and time capsules Shep tells a story about an Engineer he once had that had a drinking problem and fell asleep at the control board while Shep was on the air and there was no one else in the control room.

Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
