    Jay Hickerson was requesting info on the first YTJD program.  I also have
    episode 1 dated Feb 18, 1949.  Previous to that was an audition show dated
    either Dec 6 or 7 of 1948 with Dick Powell as Johnny Dollar.

    This info is from my a broadcast of this audition show on Radio Classics in
    Chicago area in April of 1995 and again March 1997.

    running programs on the air.  (I saw a kinoscope of that show and

    Hmmm, come to think of it, it wasn't much different from today's video
    podcasts. --ed)

    I think we should also include Have Gun, Will Travel as another show that
