WOR 710 New York - Jean Shepherd - Radio History - September 23 1975

Jean Shepherd was a writer, humorist, satirist, actor, radio raconteur, TV & film personality. He was a master story teller, who would take bits and pieces from his own life, and weave tales of his youth. For almost three decades, he told these stories to the masses. In Cincinnati between 1950 and 1954 Shep did a show on WSAI and a nightly comedy show on WLW Cincinnati. This led to a gig on WOR New York where for 21 years, he gave listeners a nightly dose of genius.

His most popular and well known work is the holiday classic film "A Christmas Story" which he co-wrote and narrated.

In this aircheck, Jean talks about radio history.

Feel free to check out some of the many other videos on the Ellis B Feaster's Radio Channel! Established in 2008!

One of You Tube's oldest RADIO AIRCHECK MUSEUM with a NEW VIDEO posted daily at 3PM EST.

After over 40 years working on the radio, I have recorded lots of radio airchecks, and many from my friends as well.

You'll find audio of many radio personalities who have passed away. Lots radio recordings from the 1940s, through the 2010.

We also talk about radio broadcasting. If you happen to have classic airchecks, maybe even of yourself on the air, we'd love to share it here!

I wasn't born yet when he was on the radio, but he talked too fast for me.
