1:38:04 – Before he defected to WOR in the Big Apple, Jean Shepherd worked at several other radio stations, four of which (WSAI, WCKY, WKRC, WLW) were in the Cincinnati area. During one of these brief bouts of employment, Shep spent a summer in Covington, Kentucky. Dave in Kentucky introduces and comments on four show segments in which Shep in New York talks about Shep in Kentucky. While staying mostly out of the master storyteller’s way, Dave does manage to sneak in one of his own stories near the end. (Show art: WKRC promotional photo, circa 1948.)

1:25:31 – The conclusion of our two-part retrospective on Father Charles E. Coughlin, the radio priest who influenced many across America, Catholic and non-Catholic alike, through his weekly broadcasts from the Shrine of the Little Flower in Royal Oak, Michigan. Last time we examined some of his political views and his defense against charges of anti-Semitism. This time the emphasis shifts to his economic views on banking, money creation, and the Federal Reserve, based on two of his broadcasts from April of 1940, just before he was banned from the public airwaves.
