The Christmas Stocking 
Hey Lee were off to a good start this year.. The shows are great.. we got more snow last night and they are making the ice skating rinks around town.. Life is good. Thanks for the thanks on the show.. Hey one of my favorite things in life is Old Time Radio. Ya know the old adventure, comedy, horror, sci-fi shows from the 40’s and 50’s I just got a collection of 612 Christmas theme Old Time Radio shows. 612 x 1/2 or even an hour long episodes.. Thats allot of Christmas listening. My favorite so far is The Great Gildersleve. That would make for a nice subject and they are all pod safe because of the age of the recordings. I purchased them at http://www.otrcat.com they come on one disc of MP3 or you can get them for free at http://www.archive.org but you would have to download them one by one. Or is you e-mail me with your address I will happily make you a copy. Any way Merry Christmas and keep up the Great Work. Aaron (Duluth, MN)
Hi, Aaron. Thanks as always for the kind words and the support in general. Have I mentioned I miss snow? Not yet this year, I guess.
I love old time radio, too. Jack Benny is one of my heroes and I love the Shadow, too. I’m currently subscribed to the Jack Benny and Fibber McGee & Molly podcasts, along with a general old time radio comedy feed. I also have “The Horror!” podcasts from Halloween, which are an interesting variety.
Thanks for your offer and suggestion. I will keep them in mind.
Merry Christmas!
–Lee
