    Subject:  Earplay: from NPR in the 70's.

    So I realize that this list is for OTR, which pretty much has a cut-off
    around 1961. There is a group on Yahoogroups for CBS Radio Mystery Theater,
    but I haven't found one for the NPR show Earplay. I also haven't found a
    log. One source on the RMT group has about 95 shows of Earplay, and I'd like
    to connect with other fans of the show if possible. Does anyone have further
    info? I can't even find a fan site dedicated to this show.
    Thanks a lot.
    Matthew

    Subject:  Camel Caravan

    I don't recall if I've asked about this before or not. Are there any good
    written accounts of the WW2 era Camel Caravan tours? Not the radio show but
    the musical variety show tours, of which there were a few? I have found just
    a bit in some old Billboard articles.
    Thanks,
    Ryan
