This Airchecks focuses on radio shows from old time radio to current shows written as plays or when a radio show was recorded. A showcase of radio programming that may have been lost over the decades if it hadn’t been recorded and preserved for future generations. In the radio and television industry, recordings of radio shows were fairly common anywhere from transcription discs for later replay or to make sure a commercial has been played on the air for the salesman to show their client. And sometimes it’s not just audio theatre, it can be music as well. Some items previously aired and some items that were never aired, but recorded. Airchecks is a three hour program that is uploaded into a podcast on Saturdays.

Episode 107, January 18, 2025 - Jean Shepherd Marathon, Part 1
Aichecks is featuring a Jean Shepherd Marathon, where we play as many shows as we can from the late 1950s to 1977 on WOR in NYC. In this episode, you will hear:
I, Libertine (a literary hoax)
Shepherd praises the "Gogomobile" at length (a cheap Dutch auto). Ronald Metzger said it for all of us. A Bacchanalian cry: Evoe! (May 2, 1959)
12:15 P. M. to 2:00 P. M. The first Jean Shepherd show on a Saturday afternoon. "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles," two letters from kid listeners are read, the solar system and restrooms. A five-and-dime grab bag. Shep complains about American radio and compares it to radio services around the world. The Mutual net news at 1:00 P. M. has been deleted. (March 26, 1960)
