    Subject:  Lost radio episodes of THE BIG SHOW

    Many in the hobby are aware of my latest book, THE BIG SHOW: Tallulah
    Bankhead's Radio Career, being published in March. Numerous reference
    guides claim the program was NBC's attempt to combat television but this
    (as most historians are aware) is not true. The program was created
    deliberately to counteract CBS' notorious talent raid AND an attempt to
    kill Jack Benny's career. Fully documented with scans of archival documents
    (including Tallulah's salary contract with the network), my research
    granted me access to transcription discs for both season one and season
    two.

    Collectors of OTR know that the majority of the second season episodes are
    not known to exist in collector hands. I paid a four-digit figure to have
    those discs transferred digitally and normally I would sell enough books to
    cover the cost of expenses. But this was a very hefty fee and I would like
    to make my money back.

    So I uploaded both first and second season episodes, plus bonus features from
    the series, on dropbox. Both wav and mp3 files were uploaded. I created a
    Kickstarter campaign and the link can be found below. Sincere appreciation in
    advance for your support.
