I was going to skip the traditional this year, but when I told someone they were disappointed. So, I said all right give me a December date for another What Once Was Radio and we’ll do it. So here we are Thursday December 23rd with repeat programs but ones I hope you’ll enjoy. We’ll hear A cup of Christmas Tea, The small one, Why the Charms Rang and The Littlest Angel.
“What Once Was Radio,” wants to take this opportunity to wish all of you the most joyous of holiday seasons.

On this week’s OTR presentation, hosted by Kelly Sapergia, I’ll be playing:

Tales of The Texas Rangers: Christmas Present
Jack Benny: Trimming The Christmas Tree

Our guest Presenter for December 9 is “Rotten Rick Spurgeon.” Let us see what Rick will be playing for this week.

2010 is considered to be the centenary of broadcasting. But is it? And who was the first? Was it KDKA, KQW, CFCF, WWJ or none of the above?

For the final Radio Renaissance program of the year let’s explore this deceptively simple question. I think you’ll find this offfering actually entertaining as we listen to some familiar voices re-create the battle. Come along and see how your favorite choice fares.

Hosted by Joy Jackson
01 Yours Truly Johnny Dollar: The Jeffords Matter, written and directed by Mike Wheeler. Gregg Porter as Johnny Dollar, Ivan Cury as the Sheriff, and Esther Geddes McVey as Annabelle Jeffords. Johnny is called in on a case of 3 double indemnity claims on 3 wives by the same husband within a 9 year period.

02 Vic and Sade: Summertime Haircut. Nicer Scott had his hair cut off, and Rush is shaking with internal laughter.

03 Sam Spade: The Jane Doe Caper. A lost episode from 1949, directed by Marge Lutton. Ivan Cury as Sam Spade searches for the identity of Jane Doe, and who killed her.

Our presenter this week is that man from Massachusetts, John Beaulieu. Let us see
what John will be playing for us.
Again! You guessed it, it’s time for another what once was radio. I am not so sure
if it’s more fun getting the programs and listening to the shows to decide what one
to play or doing the research. This research took me to three programs and if you
want I guess you could say four different programs. I will be playing from the Hollywood
star playhouse and a summer replacement program called The Whisperer. I don’t care
to divulge any more than that but trust me you’ll enjoy. So, join me Thursday night
November 18, 9:00 eastern standard time 6:00 p.m. on the west coast. Join us an hour
earlier as Bob Acosta will be back after being away for the last two weeks and we’ll
see if he has any words of wisdom for us.

Our host for this week is Kelly Sapergia who will begin by playing Frankenstein to be followed by Henry Alderich “Sam is Sick.”

Hello out there, yes it’s me again and it’s time for another what once was radio.
We even could have a visit from the story lady, Dr. Science or maybe even a five minute mystery. Oh, and did I tell you that in our featured show we will have two shows featuring Tony Curtis. Yes, he did appear on radio. See you then!
