The Jean Shepherd Show (WOR-AM) Transmission Date: Thursday January 16, 1964 "The Great Indiana Blizzard of 1930" Whining about the weather? You may not be, after hearing this account! A late night Winter's Tale as only Shep could tell it.... This episode is fine example of Shepherd's comic craft. He can hold our interest for over forty minutes on a single topic that is usually considered one of the most common of all subjects; The Weather. It's a bit more than that, as he recalls a particular blizzard that hit the midwest in 1930 & the domino effect it had on everything within its' grip. This will make perfect listening during the next winter storm & if the power goes out, hunker down under a pile of blankets & insulate your coats with newspapers...the latest thing in depression era "Hobo" style! Conversely, this Winter's tale may also be effective to listen to during the next heat wave, as it is sure to cool the mind.... It's "the voice in the night" at his best... NOTE: This is the complete 01/16/1964 WOR radio episode ( with slightly improved audio ) A "special" distillation of depression-era stories from America's foremost 20th century humorist. A bit of much-loved Americana. a Trix ReMix
