Hi one and all, tis is the season to be jolly. My wish to all is for a Merry Christmas and hope your family celebrations are grand. This week What Once Was Radio will be presenting three small programs in memory of our dear friend Pat Price, who once said to me Christmas isn’t Christmas unless I’ve heard A Cup Of Christmas tea, Why The Chimes Rang and The Small One. So, in Pat’s memory I play these. I will follow that up with Grand Central Stations Miracle For Christmas. I know this is one of joannies favorites and I hope yours too. So join us with friendly chat from 8:00 P.M. EST. At 9:00 we’ll listen to some real good old time radio. See you then.

Hi gang, we have a guest presenter this week so you will want to be there. Thursday December 8th 9:00 P.M. EST, 6:00 on the west coast. Here is our presenter. see you all then!
We begin with a favorite Christmas show of many. It is one of the
most emotional shows that survive concerning Christmas.
It is “Truth Or Consequences” from 12/20/47 Christmas Party For Hubert Smith.

For years, we all wondered what ever happened to Hubert Smith, well,
now we will find out.
Chuck Schaden tracked him down and spoke to him for about 7 minutes
by telephone for his “Those Were the Days” show of
12/22/88.

Our final offering will be “Amos N Andy” from 12/24/41 Christmas eve
show. This is the traditional Christmas eve story heard for many
years on Amos & Andy, but this version took place just 17 days after
Pearl Harbor. Notice the music and melodies heard while Amos is
reciting the prayer to his daughter.

Our presenter for this week is Rob Hancik. Let us read what Rob will be playing.

This Thursday in Radio Out of the Past, we will listen to not one, not two, but three suspense programs. These suspense programs will be featured on a special Thursday evening edition of Yesterday Once More. Hope you’ll join me.

Our presenter for this week is Rick Spurgeon. Let us read what Rick will be playing.

I’ve got two good shows for you, but they come with a price. You first will have to listen to me talk for 15 minutes about a west coast businessman who had a major impact on radio’s first golden age. If not for a twist of fate, he would have undoubtedly changed the course of radio and television. Despite the poor sound quality of my presentation, I think you might find the content illuminating. Your reward for surviving my lecture will be some entertaining radio, including what could well be the very first network detective show.

Our presenter for this week is Michael amaro. Let us read what Michael will be playing.
