The Jean Shepherd Show (WOR) 1964/12/30 The New Year's Eve Raid At The Kansas City Burlesque House


(5 stars; 2 reviews)

The Jean Shepherd Show is a delightful journey into the past, where Jean Shepherd shares his unique perspective on life and nostalgia. In this episode, originally broadcast on December 30, 1964, he reflects on a childhood New Year's Eve spent with friends Bruhner, Flick, and Schwartz, as they enjoy a midnight matinee.

Shepherd also recounts a more adult New Year's Eve during the wartime 1940s, filled with humorous anecdotes of fights, burlesque queens, and the antics of the greatest generation. This slightly edited broadcast features improved audio and fits within a 30-minute time slot, making it a perfect listen for anyone looking to enjoy a slice of vintage radio entertainment.
