Looking for V-Discs?


(5 stars)

The ultra hard-to-find radio programs on V-Discs are here. I don't know if they are all here or not but they were great shows made for our servicemen overseas in World War II and were supposed to be destroyed after playing but someone who posted these 93 shows (about 30 minutes each) has more than I have ever been able to find. The only difficulty with a file this large is you (I) can only download 6 files at a time, but this is a great source. I love the Archive.org. My only qualm is that I'm such a pig and the files I want to upload and download are sometimes too big. Daddy G's Memory Music

Where is Jack Benny?Harry the Hipster Gibson?


Two weeks ago I listened to a Jubilee featuring Jack Benny & Rochester Eddie Anderson & since you changed the list the episode is missing. What happened to it??? Where is the episode I listened to with Harry the Hipster Gibson???

includes dates


if you put your mouse over the file link in the files section you can see that the name of the file includes the dates. also see the description at the top of the page. :D

You can download the entire file by looking on the upper right side of the page. Great program, by the way. Check that. LEFT SIDE of the screen, not right
