    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!

    Martin, the first sponsor in your listing obviously refers to the Salerno-Megowan biscuit company.  That Chicago baker made delicious Salerno butter cookies back then - yummy.

    Some evidence (see the fifth paragraph):

    Subject:  Question
    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: from multipart/alternative
    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain

           What can anyone tell me about an OTR series called "Rogues Gallery"?
    I've
    only just heard about it.  It sounds like it might be a detective series.  Who
    starred
    in it and was it very popular?  General information, specific facts, anything
    at all
    would be helpful.

    [ADMINISTRIVIA: I'm a little surprised Rogue's Gallery isn't better-known; as
    another of the Dick Powell detective series, I'd think everyone in the hobby
    would have heard one or two at least. To rectify this, I've posted an episode
    from October 25, 1945 to the blog's podcast at [removed] -
    you can listen using the on-line player or download the show to your
    favorite portable MP3 player. And if you subscribe to the podcast's RSS feed
    with a podcast client (Juice, or even the bloated iTunes) you'll
    automatically receive these podcasts as they are made available.

    So you know, I didn't encode this show (I downloaded it from USENET a long
    long time ago), so it may not be up to my usual standards. But it _is_
    listenable and enjoyable, so [removed] and enjoy.  --cfs3]

    I have been reading the OTR DIGEST For 3 or more years and I get the
    feeling that many collector of OTR have lot of radio show that they have
    never heard
    . I have about 9,000 thousand show on cassette tapes and I have heard
    every radio about  two or 3 time and some more than that. I never bought
    any OTR. I recorded off radio and copied shows from friends
    For 15 years my wife and I drove to Florida from McHenry, ILL. Took
    about 500 cassettes in the car and listened for  1440 miles in 2 1/2 day.

    When traveled by air, I brought a small player and some cassettes on
    long flights

    Need less to say, I love OTR
