In an essay, "What Luigi Basco Taught Americans about Italian Americans" (in a 2010 book, Anti-Italianism: Essays on a Prejudice, eds. W Connell and F.

15-minute Life with Luigi

Ryan Ellett
 

If anyone would like a research project, we have three episodes of Life with Luigi that are 15 minutes long, the same three listed at the end of Goldin's log of the show. He has them listed as May 1954 but there's no record of any 15-minute broadcasts that I can find during that time or anytime, actually. The 30-minute show left the air abruptly in March, 1953, likely because writer ac Benoff was called to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee. The shows have an audience but no sponsor associated with them. Joe Webb and I suspect these 15-minute programs were auditions for a proposed quarter-hour version; I did find newspaper references to attempts to revive it in this format in 1954. I find half-hour broadcasts as late as summer 1954 (Hawaii), I assume they are re-runs of earlier shows. If anyone wants to try and find evidence the series was actually broadcast in this format, consider this a challenge!

And for those that use the Goldin site often, Jerry Haendiges shared on Facebook that in a private note from Goldin he (Dave Goldin) hinted the site would be undergoing major changes in the near future. No inkling as to what those changes would be. Should be interesting.

please do your best to verify the dates
MANY of the misdated files from the 2000s were from bad handwriting on reel contents sheets
this will be no exception
as Nightkey has taught us, always listen for clues in the programs
also be aware that RadioGoldindex also has errors here and there and there are people working to correct them. when those listings were originally compiled, NO ONE had access to the kinds of information we do today. it's a marvelous time to be collecting and researching OTR
the verification process that OTRR developed was what drew me to it




New Episodes from Stu Weiss Collection pt. 2

Here is a second set of shows digitized from the reel-to-reels of longtime OTR hobbyist Stu Weiss provided by Joe Webb.

Enjoy and let us know about errors in names, dates, etc.

No, I am not sure about any of these; I've only listened to one. These are being shared as they were received, vetting like this is always good before they're put up in the library.

In spite of the reference to 1948 in the tuberculosis public service spot, I think the date on this should be 1949-06-26:

Searching for Michael Simons

Ryan Ellett
 

A poster on our Facebook is looking for collector Michael Simons; sounds like they traded shows about 15 years ago. Does that name ring a bell with anyone here? This person is specifically looking for some 1940s Guiding Lights he received from Mr. Simons.
