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.

In this Jean Shepherd episode:
The recording begins with Dwight Weist reading the WOR News. Grand Prix auto racing, fishing, air races, dance marathons. (June 25, 1960)
The July 4th weekend, old Wallace Beery movies, Druids at Stonehenge, "We are being inundated by a wave of creeping meatballism." Shep asks all listeners who are using a portable radio to wave a white handkerchief or towel in the air. Shep refers to Del Sharbutt as "a human pipe organ." He awards a "brass figmagee" and recalls his mother's "rump sprung chenille bathrobe." Shep plays, "When The Bloom Is On The Sage" on his nose flute. Riding buses in New York. A good show! (July 2, 1960)
Summer madness and "The Great Ice Cream War." A real ingredient in bowling balls is cheese! (July 4, 1960)
