Passing Parade - 20 Episodes of the Old Time Radio program
Read by John Nesbitt
This upload contains 20 episodes of the Old Time Radio show, Passing Parade. The show brought the listener interesting tales from history, frequently strange but true, similar to the storytelling of Paul Harvey decades later. Unfortunately, although the show aired off and on from 1937-1951, only a handful of episodes have survived.
It's a shame, since Nesbitt is an engaging storyteller and his stories are always interesting. The dates, episode numbers, and titles are believed to be correct based on available information, but any corrections are welcome. We OTR enthusiasts owe a huge debt to those who have worked tirelessly to discover, acquire, and preserve these recordings.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
