Thanks much to everyone who responded to my query about "Smackout", the
pre-Fibber McGee & Molly
series.  I think I have some of these but they are
likely in marginal sound and there are not very many
existing episodes.

I
produce and host a comedy show on the local college station and I seem to have
inherited the hour
before that show, so I am currently running audition comedy
shows in that time period.  I want to
surprise the listeners who may not know
certain celebrities started out in radio, as odd as it may seem.
On the
agenda, the Phil Silvers Show; Meet Mr, McNutley with Ray Milland; June's My
Girl with Diana
Lynn; Me & Janie with George O'Hanlon, etc.

If you'd like to
tune in, the program is on Thursdays 11 am to 1 pm on [removed]

Folks;

   I've added to the OTR Digest's Copy folder another Radio-to-Television
program; an episode of The Adventures of Ellery Queen, starring Lee Bowman
and sponsored by your friendly Kaiser-Frazer Automobile dealers. This series
aired on Dumont, and was clearly broadcast [removed] particular episode ran
long, and is cut off at the end by the network close.

   It's in the Digest's shared folder on Copy; if you need info on accessing
it, drop me a note.

   Oh, I've been asked a few times why I'm using Copy instead of serving
these from my own server. Simple [removed] Copy is a free service, and
doesn't require me to pay for the bandwidth used to distribute the files.
While I'd frankly prefer to distribute them myself, bandwidth for the
dedicated server is expensive, so I'm using Copy to distribute large files
without the cost. It doesn't cost the Digest to share, and doesn't cost you
to download, so it's a win-win.

   You can help by, if you already signed up for a Copy account through the
Digest's affiliate link, remembering to install that desktop app to get your
extra 5G of space which provides extra space to the Digest folder as well.
You can always uninstall later, if you wish, but I'd bet you'll find it
useful enough to back up your own photos and such that you'll keep it
installed.

         Charlie
