I listened to Shep all the time as a teenager in the 1960s. He’s the best.
I listen to Shep. WOR. in South Jersey from 1963 to 1975,now retired, we are a dying breed soon we will be gone ,and no one will know who Shep.was !
I listened in the early 70s, I was a kid and listened while falling asleep in my home in Brooklyn.

I discovered him on my own in the late 60s, then listened to countless hours of his shows on WOR in the early- to mif-70s with my dad.
Flick does truly Live🤪
My 10th grade history teacher introduced the class to Jean Shepherd (not in person, of course). Subsequently, whenever I was home at 9:15 PM Monday through Friday, reception of WOR was good enough in the Philadelphia area to enjoy the show. I'm looking forward to coming across an episode with "The Bear Missed the Train," but I can do without "The Laughing Song." No doubt these are among greenteablend's collection. Thanks for uploading complete episodes, including the commercials! Wow, all the extra off-the-cuff comments a paid sponsor would net from Shep!
This just might be the first episode of Shep that I ever heard. (Might as well be.) I was 12 in the summer of 70, and I was immediately hooked. The tape machine was running slow here; the playback is too fast, the length of the show a few minutes too short, and the pitch of his voice a bit too high. Good to hear it again, though. Like with the Rocky and Bullwinkle show, I get all the references now that went over my head as a kid. Thanks for posting.
did you sing as a kid? brother bobby? transfig?
I was in the Army and wrote Shep a letter. I CAME home on leave listening to Shep and he read my letter about Army chow
A letter like that sounds very familiar! I'm not sure if I heard it on my channel or another one. Do you recall what year this was? Maybe we can track it down.
1971
@@williamberwick1027 I have two army shows from 1971 and it wasn't either of those. I'll keep an eye out for it.

I used to listen to Shep from Pittsburgh - no problem on my 1940's floor model RCA AM/SW radio. Anyway, there was an annual "Syrian Picnic" in the Pittsburgh area that was absolutely great. Everybody went. Very few were actual Syrians in any sense. Those were the days!
