Ah, the Story Record!  How could I forget about that?  It was my favorite 
part of Whittinghill's show.  My mom even sent an idea of mine in once; 
it of course was not selected, but I did get a neato acknowledgement 
postcard.

Message-ID: <[removed]@[removed]>

I heard several episodes of the Sears Radio Theater when they were first
broadcast (late 1970's), and I thought they were so poorly done as to be
embarrassing.  Amateurish writing and atrocious "acting"; grossly inferior
to the CBS Mystery Theater, which was running about the same time.  Did I
just catch a few clunkers?  A lot of people are praising the Sears program 
quality here, and I can't believe we were listening to the same broadcasts. 
  
As for Chicago OTR, now on WMAQ (670 AM and with a range similar to WBBM) 
Monday through Friday 11pm-midnight Central time, and either Sat or Sun 
(can't remember which) 10pm-midnight.        ---Dan

WMAQ AM 670 k at 11:00 M-F

WMAQ is a clear channel, but its signal isn't as *clear* as BBM's. Hope you
receive it okay!

I also listened to this program when I was about 10 years old. Before then my
life was all TV . Except for the Disney records (with
stories)  my parents often bought for me. I am not sure when ...but I had
discovered The Sears Radio Theater followed by THE CBS RADIO MYSTERY THEATER.
I can still remember some story on the Sears show about some adventure with a
couple of people skiing. ( I don't remember the plot ).  I cannot recall how
I found these shows however. Possibly, because they aired on KIRO which aired
a lot of the Seattle Sonics basketball games. These shows would follow.
Sears eventually turned into the Mutual Radio Theater. I never thought I was
listening to a radio drama comeback. I just figured radio drama ( spooky and
mystery shows ) were always a part of radio.  No one told me I should be
watching Televison.

There is a gentleman named Tom C. Miller  ( I think) who puts out some OTR
radio publication. I can' t recall the name of the publication . If anyone
can lead me to his address I wanted to subscribe . THANKS.

The only comparatively rare thing I have is an AFRS recording of ESCAPE's
production of "Jimmy Goggles, The God" (March 7, 1948).  Sound quality is
only fair, but it's better than not having it at all.

But then, it's hard to know what people will consider "rare."

Hello [removed]

   Just a quick responce to virgil Stewart's comments regarding my request
for finanical help to get some *rare* otr material released to the hobby.

   First, the cost is not $30 to $60 per show, it is $15 and in a few
cases, $30.  This is not an "inflated" cost for me or some tape vendor to
make money from, this is the fee that I was quoted from a governmental
source. The Library of Congress charges much, much more than this, IF they
would release the material.  My plea for help with this is in the best
interest of the hobby in general.  If I don't rescue these shows, I'm
afraid they will be lost forever.  Yes, this may seem like a high fee for
obtainning this material, but my hands are tied.  And remember, they
aren't making this stuff anymore! If there are new shows being found
everyday, I'd certainly like to hear of them.  Once in a while there is a
"find" of a few new shows, but it's been a spell since a collection of
truly rare material has surfaced.

   Yeah, there are no GUNSMOKE shows in this collection I have access to,
but many, many shows that no other copies are known of, and many, many new
titles of existing shows that haven't been heard since they were broadcast
50 years ago.

   I recently complained (again) about the Library of Congress and their
hoarding of otr shows, and being upset about this made me go out and try
to do something to help the hobby. And my search has landed me a source,
while not quite as good of the Library of Congress, still very fruitful in
uncovering new old time radio programmes.  At least I'm doing something
about helping the hobby!  There's a lot of hot air out there, but actions
speak louder than words!

   I have heard from several people, and it looks as if a lot of this
material will be able to be brought to the surface.  There is a difference
in uncommon material and uncirulated material.  There are many hard core
collectors out there eager to get their hands on *anything* new, and I am
happy to help them out. If you are one of these collectors, please contact
me directly.
