    This is the Thanksgiving Extra episode. Just found two Jean Shepherd Shows on WOR that I wanted to share. Happy Thanksgiving!

    • Army Thanksgiving With News, November 23, 1972

  • Episode 39, November 18, 2023 - Thanksgiving / Part 1
    This one of two of the Thanksgiving editions of Airchecks. In this episode we present:
    • Society of Mayflower Descendents, WAAB, May 28, 1935
    • Jean Shepherd Show, WOR, November 29, 1967 - "A Hunting Story (Sitting Ducks)"
    • 6th Annual Elgin Thanksgiving Special, November 26, 1947
    3 hr
  • Episode 38, November 12, 2023 - Soldier of The Press, Part 2
    The last episode and this episode is dedicated to the men and women that served our countries for Armistice Day or what people in the USA call it as Veterans Day. If you are a veteran, thank you for serving.

    Soldiers of the Press is a war drama that was created in New York and syndicated by World Broadcasting System. Little is known about the series or the total number of episodes. Each episode is 15 minutes long and retold a recent news story from action during World War II. The series was narrated by United Press correspondents including Walter Cronkite, Harrison Salisbury, and many lesser knowns such as Ralph Teasdale and Ann Stringer. The show was broadcast on WOR from 28 Feb 1943 until 5 Aug 1945 on Sundays at 12:30pm. There are at least 39 episodes in circulation out of the 148 known to exist.
    We're not going to play all of the episodes, but you can download the existing episodes from archive.org. There will be no ads in these two episodes.

    Here is the final part.

  • Episode 35, November 4, 2023 - Radio Active / Museum of Everything / Burkiss Way
    Welcome to our first 3 hour podcast of Airchecks! We decided to place this into one 3 hour episode instead of cutting it into one hour increments, but will still upload every Saturday and Sunday. We should have chapters, so you can still skip ahead to the episodes that you want to hear. In this podcast we feature:


    1. Radio Active:
      • Bedrock - The Early Morning Breakfast Show with Mike Flex
      • The Midday Show with Anna Daptor
    2. The Museum of Everything:
      • A Very Important Visitor
      • School Parties Welcome
    3. The Burkiss Way:
      • Lesson 10 - Govern Britain The Burkiss Way
      • Lesson 11 - Journey Into The Unknown The Burkiss Way
    2 hr 51 min
  • Episode 34, Hour 3, October 29, 2023 - War of The Worlds
    For the last hour for Halloween theme in the month of October, we present Orson Welles starring on the Mercury Theatre On The Air of "War of The Wars" as broadcasted on October 30, 1938.

    A quick note: All future episodes will be three hours long instead of being chopped into one hour segments starting November 4, 2023. They will have chapter features to allow you to skip to the next audio aircheck. Thanks for listening!
