Below is the file on the Shadow Radio show I am currently working on.
As time permits, I will be adding the episodes from the other seasons. I hope
to post the complete file later this week. I AM interested in listing all
the COMMERCIAL sources for these radio shows (ie records/tapes). I have
the recent Great American Audio tape collections and these are noted in the
list, but would like to list other collections.
