To answer a previously posted question, Jack O'Dell who
wrote, produced & hosted Unshackled for over 30 years died
about 2 or so years ago. It was my privilege to interview him
about 7 years ago after an Unshackled taping at Pacific Garden
Mission in Chicago. His was quite a story, from alcoholic "soap
opera" star to producer of radio's longest running drama. All of
the stories on the program are true, and produced each Saturday
afternoon in front of a live audience at the Pacific Garden
Mission in Chicago. It is like stepping back into the good old
days of radio to attend a taping.
By the way, we at HCJB will be increasing our broadcasts of
Unshackled to twice a week in good listening times via shortwave
starting in September. For our new program schedule, effective
in early September, write to me at the address below. --Ken

That had to be an interesting article...Do you still have it, maybe in
electric format?

How did he die? I'm not religeous, but I even listened to the program up
until each person bei>g profiled got saved...Yeah i'm sick that way I
guess. =)
