Shep at WSAI Date: 08-24-2009 By: radiocincy	For fans of Jean Shepherd's early days: I've posted on our museum web-site a recording found on an old WSAI 16" transcription disc labeled "Jean Shepherd Farewell." Before you get too excited, Shep is not on the recording...rather, I surmise, it was an off-air gag tribute his co-workers created for him after Jean quit the station around 1951. Still, it does give us some insights into the format of Jean's show, how much his co-workers adored him and the fact that Jean obviously was not fired, but quit on his own accord. Enjoy! http://historyofbroadcasting.com/_wsn/page14.html -Mike	2

10-21-2009 ( Reply#: 3859 )	radiocincy	Thanks, Spiderman, for your kind words. I hope the other 99-people who listened, enjoyed it too. Since we hit the hundred mark of "views", it's time for me to put something else (sorry, non-Shep-related) up on our Cincinnati history site. But maybe sometime down the road, after a few beers, I'll post something else. Like, perhaps, a Shepherd show "open" from his WSAI days (I wish an entire show existed.) -Mike
