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 110, February 8, 2025 - Jean Shepherd Marathon, Part 4
In this Jean Shepherd marathon, we present:
Shep talks about: the chain on the door, the steel mill and "Terry and The Pirates." Permanent protection from the elements. WOR is breaking in a new fifty thousand watt transmitter after the show (the one in current use was put into service in 1923). Mom's cookie cutter, The New York Times asks Shepherd for assistance. Whitey Ford pitches to a loser. Fu Manchu for president! Chinese water torture, a lifetime credit card, three roosters on a bathtub. Portions of this program might be recorded out of sequence. (July 10, 1960)
The emblem of the eagle should be replaced by a cocker spaniel. A modest proposal for ex-presidents (and others). The starlings have arrived in Queens, memories of the Lone Ranger. (July 23, 1960)
"The Footrace Of Life" in New York. At the dog track: chasing the rabbitt of life. Shep reveals the source of alligators in the sewers of New York City. (July 30, 1960)
