I previewed this show from this site. The sound quality is a little dodgy but quite liveable. The show is great fun, and kind-of sophisticated, too. I admit I enjoy it more because I've had some history of reading about and listening to other OTR, so I think that helped a LOT. If you are new to OTR, this show is definitely worth keeping and saving for the day when you've got some names and circumstances under your belt and can get more of the jokes.

Shame on CBS for not continuing to sponsor this programme.Imagine what Freberg and co.could have achieved given further airtime. It's a sad,sad example of commercialism at its blinkered worst. I'm English and as a child in Sheffield listened to American radio via AFN Frankfurt and the Voice Of America. They could only be received with any audability during certain parts of the day - usually at night - consequently my transistor radio was fixed to my ear under the bedclothes for hours listening intently as the reception would wax and wane. Consequently,I became very,very interested in America and Americana. An interest that has never been dissipated with time. This site is manna from heaven to me. I can listen to American bygone radio at my leasure - unfortunately for the rest, Stan Freberg has absorbed my time completely. None of these episodes have, in my opimion, lost anything with time. Considering their age I am amazed at their sophistication, their ironic edge,and cutting satire. Comparing their content with the sort of slapstick,knockabout comedy we were listening to here at the time, I can only presume that Freberg was ignored by commercial radio because he was intellectually way,way ahead of anyone else except perhaps stand-ups like Lenny Bruce and Mort Sahl. Every episode is a self-contained gem. Radio's loss was advertisings gain. Shame on CBS.

Good clean fun kd4tgc 2008-06-18 04:52:36 2008-06-18 04:52:36 5 I find many other shows funny, so I must be dead; but certainly not in heaven, listening to that. I started feeling sorry for the performers, that this was actually recorded for posterity.

Finding a downloadable site on Freberg's radio show was just short of a miracle for me. Bill, my best friend, passed away this last March (2008.) He used to play Freberg's radio shows for me; we shared some good times listening and laughing. Now with Bill gone, I couldn't find the Abominable Snowman in sneakers or Werewolves in Gray Flannel Suits anywhere in Bill's many recordings. I found your site with a web search. After downloading a few of Freberg's shows, those familiar words and skits flowed over my ears once again. I will admit, I spent the rest of the evening, crying and laughing while remembering Bill's and my friendship. Thank you SO MUCH for having this website and having this downloadable version. You have made one lady in Arizona happy beyond words. The highest rating has only five stars at most. Double that rating for me, please. God bless you all. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you ever so much. Kasin 2008-12-12 13:03:18 2008-12-12 13:03:18 5 5 4.20
