On Saturday, April 16th, 1960, Jean Shepherd took to the air over WOR airwaves in New York City. Jean was in his usual talkative mood. On that Saturday he'd reported to work only to find the lock had been changed in his office. He speculated that at that moment numerous locks were being changed around New York to throw society into chaos that coming Monday!

From WOR in the 1960s

Episode three of the In-Sightful Living podcast is a rather lengthy one discussing my experience with Face Vocal Band at Red Rocks on 07/10/2019. They also discuss an episode of the Jean Shepherd show from 1971 which concerns a letter from a prisoner that he read on the air. This all ties into my idea of Vision Coaching. I Hope you enjoy this monologue. Please leave a review of the podcast wherever you happen to be listening to it and feel free to email me about your Vision at dave@in-sightfulliving.com

In this episode, GamerDude talks about the power of radio and the imagination, and demonstrates how to use it to create images, places, things, and even people, bringing Mister Agador from his Twitch stream to the engineering booth in the process. GamerDude first experienced the power of radio when listening to the broadcasts of the late, great Jean Shepherd, whose stories were the basis for the classic movie A Christmas Story. GamerDude talks about how he would curl up under his covers and listen to Jean's stories, and how those stories influenced him, and his life.  As mentioned in this episode, many of Jean Shepherd's original radio broadcasts are available on YouTube, including A Christmas Story, The Great Indiana Blizzard and Paperboy Stories. He also wrote several books, including The Ferrari in the Bedroom and Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories, both available on Amazon.

217 Jean Shepherd wrote A CHRISTMAS STORY. He wrote movies and books but he was famous because he was a radio star. A skilled storyteller on the medium made for him. Walter talks about his mad radio skills, tells why he was fired and about the time Walter saw him work. BONUS an entire recording of one of his WOR Shows WITH commercials. Hear Shepherd's predictions for the future of TV.
