Radio’s Best Years – Episode #10! Radio's Best Years Podcast

- Sociedad y cultura
Hello again and welcome to our tenth episode! There have been some bumps in the road in getting here, but at least we made it! This is being released during the annual Cincinnati old time radio convention. I hope you were able to attend.
This is the third in our special series of shows produced and hosted by Jim Beshires. As usual, there are more western shows with lots of music for your listening pleasure. As always, it’s brought to you by the Old Time Radio Researchers. Here’s what Jim tells us about the podcast:
Here we are again, buckaroos, with ‘Westward Ho’ on Radio’s Best Years, the program that brings you the best in obscure western themes from the dusty vaults of the Old
Time Radio Researchers. Programs that only a handful or in many cases, only one episode
survives.
We have some really rare ones for today and one that is just a better sounding encode.
The OTRR is dedicated to preserving these episodes for tomorrows listeners and making
them available for free for all to enjoy.
On today’s program we’ll find such goodies as ‘Asher And Little Jimmy’. Doesn’t that
just tug at your heartstrings? Well, wait till you hear the episode – Little Jimmy
closes with his bedtime prayer. Only a handful of these exist and we have them for you. This is episode #9 and they start with that old favorite –
‘The Quilting Party’.
Next we move down Texas way to hear Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. According to
Hickerson, only 15 of these episodes are in existence, but OTRR has about 20 or so.
The episode kicks off with ‘Fool, Fool, Fool’.
Now here’s that better sounding encode – the Jan 10, 1952 program of Sgt Preston
of the Yukon, entitled ‘White Doctor’. Now any episode of Sgt Preston is just downright good, and this one is no exception.
The Old Corral is next on the agenda, with Merle Travis leading off with ‘I Can Tell
Just As Plain’. The western story is not bad either.
To close – the only episode of Cecil Brower and his Kilocycle Cowboys from Odessa Texas, perhaps the best western swing of the bunch.
Enjoy now, and don’t forget to e-mail with your requests, suggestions, or complaints!

As a final note, for the observant among you, you’ll notice that episode #9 is missing. What happened to it? Did it get lost somewhere? Are we cheating by skipping a show? No, it’s none of the above. It had some sound problems, so it’ll be released at a later date, hopefully next week.
