Show Description:      THE CBS RADIO WORKSHOP offered the listener an anthology series that     was one of the finest series of programs ever aired.  It featured      stories by major authors, parts played seasoned actors and frequently      offered a place to try new things on the radio.  Many of the shows      are considered classic representations of the very best of Golden Age      radio drama.       List Comments:      This particular series appeared frequently in the various catalogs.     Dates appeared often.  Only the Radio Memories catalog had episode     numbers for all shows although a few others had some as well.  No      catalog mentioned a "last show" so the end of the series, and how     many shows, is unknown.  Considering how many vendors and clubs had     so many of the shows, it's a safe bet that the last show is number      85.      A number of catalogs listed other CBS RADIO WORKSHOP shows in the      late 1930's and 1940's.  Since there was not enough of them to give     a full picture of that series, this list is restricted to the 1956     series.

I do not have much totrade, so would be interested in purchasing from a fellow otr enthusiast.  Iknow a lot of the early shows used vaudeville oriented material, so asuggestion of a particular performer isn't what I'm looking for, rather I'mlooking for other collectors who have already listened to said programs (tolimit the amount of time I would spend trying to track down said programs). If you have/know of these programs, please e-mail me at MTPawcketts@[removed] to vaudeville and otr, I saw a photograph on an otr tape of twovaudeville performers, Weber & Fields (not [removed]) and it appeared that theywere doing a radio broadcast.  Does any one know of programs with Weber &Fields?Lastly, here's a possible way to test your posts to see if they are going toadd/start a flame war:  Ask yourself before you post, "Is this going to makea difference for anyone?" ([removed] up ines of communication, create apossibility that wasn't there before, etc)  If the answer is yes, you'reprobably safe.  If the answer is "No, I just want the other person to see itmy way" "I think the other person is wrong" "I just want to get this off mychest" then you're probably not going to make a difference and the post wouldbe more appropriate as an individual [removed] is one possibility to look at with posting.  I used it before I postedthis.  I asked myself, "Is what I'm about to share going to make a differencefor other otr readers?"  I think if people use this idea, it will limit theflames (without suppressing ideas or having the digest become moderated) thatI think most of the digest would rather do without.  After answering thequestion, I believed this will make a difference, so here's my [removed] you've made it this far into my post, I appreciate your listening to whatI have to say.  I firmly believe in the possibility that everyone on thedigest can be heard and respected.  Thank you.

Asa youngster I often listened to Dick Whittinghill's KMPC morning programs inthe 1950s, and, even after all these years, one of his story records hasmanaged to stick in my memory bank: A farmer warned his grandson to stay away from the cows -- or they might eathim. Curiosity, however, was too much for the boy and he ventured toinvestigate the bovines more closely. Sure enough, they ate him! The nextmorning, over breakfast, the grieving farmer thought of his late grandson andsaid (CUT to recording of "You're the Cream in My Coffee.")------------------------------Date: Fri, 1 Dec 1995 13:15:12 -0500From: LBohall@[removed]: [removed]@[removed]: Re: Sears/Mutual Radio TheaterMessage-ID: <951201131512_40742438@[removed]>Does anyone have any info on the Sears Radio Theater (which later became TheMutual Radio Theater)?
