Jean Shepherd - "Coke and Aspirin"

Shep tells stories about old wives' tales that every kid knows! The original recording was in rough shape but has been restored to a reasonably listenable state, YMMV. This is a WOR radio show recording from 1967. [Audio is public domain. Photo © by Fred W. McDarrah, used with permission.]

Shep was on WOR every single night of the week Mon-Fri for an hour with the theme, ads, and monolog until the Seventies.

We Boomers used to listen to him in bed with a transistor radio under the pillow, hoping we could stay awake to the end.

Salami ice cream? Salami sandwiches with strawberry preserves? Wow.

I looked up the nickname for the lower level to the GWB.
