Today on the Library of Sound (LOS) Volume 268 Your Humble Host brings you another of his very own Jean Shepherd tapes. Shep shows I recorded in the 1970's. Here's one from February 26, 1975 as we'll hear about Jean memorizing poems back in his school days, reading the bumps on your head & complainers. It's a whole range of stuff Shep has on his mind and as always interesting & very amusing.

Your Humble Host wisks you away from all this New Year frivolity and takes you to a quiet place. The Library of Sound (LOS) Volume 267 brings you a weird one from Quiet Please entitled "13 + 8".

Well, that's the yell that they customarily use when someone tries to get in a picture so they can be in the news. This warning lets all the photographers around to be on their guard for the photo-bomber as it's known today. OK, fine, only trouble is that the photo-bomber has disappeared from everyone's picture! Wha hoppen? as Ricky Ricardo would say. Quiet Please knows.

Sounds Like Radio is proud to present the return of a Paul Harvey Christmas tradition! Every year on Christmas Day Paul Harvey's special Christmas message telling the story of The Man & The Birds was heard all across the land.

Each year I would be sure to tune in and catch this very moving Christmas story that Paul Harvey would tell.   I am happy to say that Paul Harvey Christmas annual tradition is back right here on Your Humble Host's Sounds Like Radio.   Hear now this beautiful Christmas parable.

Sounds Like Radio has an all new Christmas Special Volume 11 for you. It's our 3rd new Christmas show because The Great Gildersleeve featured 3 different Christmas shows in 1951 & so do we. Today it's Christmas Day and the family is opening their Christmas presents. There's happiness and uh-oh there's also "trouble in the home" as our Lum & Abner friends say.

Gildy tries to smooth things over but for Leroy & Babs, his new girl, they are overjoyed with their gifts. Leroy got that Christmas tree selling job so he had money to splurge on Babsy.

Your Humble Host is also here to join in the festivities this Christmas with some really nice and fun Christmas time music for you. Grandpa will even be dropping in for a bit of cheer.

Enjoy our Christmas Sounds Like Radio Volume 11 Special!
