Book Description

Radio Again is pleased to present 8 complete and unabridged classic radio performances by raconteur Jean Shepherd from the archives of Hartwest Productions.

The X Random Factor contains all the classic elements of Jean Shepherd's brilliant radio work, combining humor, story telling, kazoo playing, and general musings on everyday life and the nature of man; from being yanked into the world, the quicksand myth, to being left behind by the world around you.

So listen and enjoy The X Random Factor. Learn why there's a turtle on the cover, and remember there are 9 to 5 odds against anything in life. Keep your knees loose!

The radio programs in this collection, long lost and forgotten, were created in the mid 1960's by Shepherd for radio and television syndicator Hartwest Productions in the format heard on Shepherd's WOR shows of the day, right down to his familiar Bahn Frei theme music.

Includes liner notes with excerpts from EXCELSIOR, YOU FATHEAD! The Art and Enigma of JEAN SHEPHERD By Eugene B. Bergmann.

8 Audio CDs - Digitally remastered and restored. Each program is approximately 44 minutes. Total running time approximately 6 hours.

About the Author
Humorist Jean Shepherd 1921-1999, perhaps now best known as the creator/narrator of the perennial holiday movie favorite A Christmas Story, had a long career on radio which culminated during the period of 1956-1977 when he was heard most days on WOR radio in New York, a clear-channel station heard along the Eastern seaboard and points west. Shepherd's radio work was both unique and transitional in the development of today's talk radio. Shepherd could talk, and talk he did, touching his listeners intimately as if speaking to an audience of one. Shepherd was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2005.
