Subject: #OldRadio IRC Chat this Thursday Night!
A weekly [removed]
For the best in OTR Chat, join IRC (Internet Relay Chat), StarLink-IRC
Network, the channel name is #OldRadio. We meet Thursdays at 8 PM Eastern
and go on, and on! The oldest OTR Chat Channel, it has been in existence
over nine years, same time, same channel! Started by Lois Culver, widow
of actor Howard Culver, this is the place to be on Thursday night for
real-time OTR talk!
Our "regulars" include OTR actors, soundmen, collectors, listeners, and
others interested in enjoying OTR from points all over the world. Discussions
range from favorite shows to almost anything else under the sun (sometimes
it's hard for us to stay on-topic)...but even if it isn't always focused,
it's always a good time!
For more info, contact charlie@[removed]. We hope to see you there, this
week and every week!

Subject: Re: Ed and Zeb
Does anyone have information concerning a possible Ed and
Zeb program in late 1939?
Eb and Zeb were characters played by Al Pearce and Bill Wright. In October
'39, they were appearing on Pearce's weekly comedy program. The season
premiere was October 11.
The February 1, 1940 Variety reports: "Pearce, Wright Audition Eb and Zeb Air
Skit--Al Pearce and Bill Wright auditioned a half hour air turn based on
their rural characters, Eb and Zeb. Half hour program also comprises Texas
Rangers and Mirandy. Waxes are making rounds of the agencies."
