I'm so delighted that this is all available here. Dorothy Shay, my great aunt and godmother, cohosted a good portion of these, and until now, I've only been able to hear a few episodes. However, because she isn't credited anywhere here as "cohost" of the Coca Cola Spotlight Review, searching by her name doesn't bring this up. Anyway to change that?? I don't see any "wiki" liek abilities for patrons to add keywords, or the like.
