Jean Shepherd Radio Shows

[Wayne Bruzek]

As a teenager in the 1960s, I was addicted to Jean Shepherd’s radio shows on WOR.  Shep served in the US Army Signal Corps from 1942 to 1944 and then attended Indiana University. During his early years in broadcasting starting in 1947 he moved around Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsylvania and was issued the amateur radio callsigns W4QWN, W8QWN and W3STE.

 His movie “A Christmas Story” has been playing non-stop for the last few days, and prompted me to look for some of his old shows.  Here’s two that he did about ham radio and CW in 1965:
