John has made veiled promises in the New Year that from time to time we will bring you something new and (hopefully) interesting direct from his vast collection of radio transcription discs. Today, we are starting with two episodes of a well-produced, virtually lost and forgotten 15-minute daily comedy series from 1945, The Jack Kirkwood Show. Kirkwood may be familiar to you from The Bob Hope Show, as Hope regularly featured this monotone comedian during the 1950s. Other than that, Jack Kirkwood has faded into obscurity, but these shows are definitely worth hearing today.
