The Singles and Doubles Collection: Single Episodes T-Z
The Singles and Doubles Collection features a unique assortment of radio episodes that have only one or two known recordings. This collection spans various genres, showcasing the rich history of radio entertainment from the 1920s to the early 1970s.
As part of the Old Time Radio Researchers Group's mission to preserve the past, this collection aims to make these rare episodes available for future generations. While many of the programs may be unfamiliar, they offer a glimpse into a time when families gathered around the radio, creating their own vivid images of the stories being told.
From comedy to drama, cooking shows to music, each episode is distinct and provides a unique listening experience. This is the second version of the collection, and as new broadcasts are discovered, further updates will be released.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

Wizard of Odds Isn't
Dodsworth the Cat
This is a Leave it to Joan show from Jan. 20, 1950. A fine cast. Joe Kearns plays the father, Shirley Mitchell as Penny, Willard Waterman as Mr. Hackaday and guest star Al Jolson tossing out some pretty funny ad-libs. The show was originally a CBS summer replacement series that debuted on Monday, July 11, 1949. The line-up introduced that night began with "Young Love," a comedy starring Janet Waldo and Jimmy Lydon revealing the tribulations of a secretly married couple attending a college which forbids student marriages. "Leave It To Joan" aired next. It was followed by "Breakfast With Burrows", written, produced and directed by comedian Abe Burrows. In previous programs, Burrows confined the cast to one person, himself. His new show found him surrounded with all sorts of characters. CBS' new Monday summer line-up concluded with "Straw Hat Concerts," featuring light concert and operetta music.

A large collection of forgotten and/or short-lived shows
XMinusOne
As usual, with a collection this large there will be a few mis-named shows, something that's entirely able to be lived with. When you start to download (i.e., save as), you'll get the correct name or topic. While several people will comment or complain that there are errors that should be corrected and made right, you know what? I simply appreciate the opportunity to listen to shows that might otherwise not be available. Thanks for the effort, and thanks for a collection that deserves four stars simply for being available for all of us. Dungarees@gmail.com
A slice of Time

Amazing collection from a time before TV was King and dominated people's lives, instead of sitting slack jawed in front of a boob tube, we can relive times past when white hat/black hat meant something!
Thank you!!
