From the Library of Sound (LOS) Volume 206 we have a guy we haven't heard from in a while, the great Sam Spade, Detective. Today Sam investigates the Rushlight Diamond Caper as it was originally heard July 4th, 1948. Your Humble Host getting in the mood along with Sam Spade for the 4th of July.

Why that's Sam and his secretary Effie in our featured picture for today's show! (See it on the Spotify or Radio Public platforms or any other platform that will display our pictures with each episode. I wish they all showed our featured pictures.)

Your Humble Host goes back into his Vast Library of Sound (LOS) and emerges with this classic Philip Marlowe adventure Volume 205. It's the case of the deadly Orange Dog as it was originally broadcast on January 22, 1949. Whatever the situation, with Marlowe on the job it'll get done.

On Sounds Like Radio Volume 141 the Great Gildersleeve family are all expecting a nice visit from Bronco's father. He's coming to see the twins but he gives everyone a jolt as he also springs a dirty trick on everyone. Oh well, it can't be that bad, can it? We'll find out on today's May 23, 1951 Gildersleeve show. Also on today's show we'll finally hear the names of the twins as selected by the very bad taste of the Gildersleeve staff. It seems they just love to pick the most unusual and worst of the names submitted supposedly by the audience.

It's a funny show though as Bronco's father plays a dirty trick on the Gildersleeve folk. Thankfully we have on hand Bob Hope, Bonnie Lou, Bing Crosby, Johnny Mercer, Lena Horne, Burl Ives & Jo Stafford to help figure this situation out. And as bonus song time arrives we'll hear a classic song from B.B. King that mixes humor along with some real feeling all combined. It's a goodie I've liked since I first heard it. OK, it's time for some fun, ready or not.

It's Volume 140 of Sounds Like Radio with The Great Gildersleeve, well, it seems lately GIldy hasn't been paying much attention to Katherine Milford, his supposed girlfriend, but Katherine hasn't noticed. She's been sailing with Gildy's rival all these weeks, Mr. Bullard. Oh, what we have here is a failure to communicate with a consequence. Will Gildy give up and wave bye bye to Katherine as she sails off into the sunset with Bullard or will he try to figure a way to get on that boat? We'll find out today on this May 16, 1951 episode.

But we just can't leave Gildy to figure this out all by his lonesome, so Your Humble Host has brought along a few helpers with a few ideas of their own. We'll hear from Peggy Lee, The Hi-Fi 1950's Ink Spots, Bing Crosby, stereo Doris Day classic, stereo Nat King Cole, stereo Gogi Grant classic, Cliff Edward a.k.a. Ukulele Ike (the original voice of Jiminy Cricket) & Ella Fitzgerald. Now if they can't figure this thing, nobody can. Listen and enjoy a bit of fun on today's Sounds Like Radio.

It's time once again to return to Your Humble Host's own Jean Shepherd tapes he recorded in the 1970's. Today on the Library of Sound (LOS) Volume 202 we'll listen as Jean finds himself laughing at the times, and talking about transcendental escapism, reading a bit of Boy Chums In Mystery Land and whatever else occurs to him. It was on February 18, 1975 when Your Humble Host recorded this amusing Inside Jean Shepherd episode.

Your Humble Host is back with a goodie from our Vast Library of Sound (LOS) it's Volume 201 and we have an episode of Burl Ives own radio show. Yes, he was known as Philco's Friendly Troubadour, this was a 15 minute show Burl did for Philco radio and is extremely enjoyable. Burl was great as a guest on Bing's radio show so naturally he'd be perfect as host of his own radio show. Listen and enjoy a bit of Burl on the radio from October 18, 1946.
