There is a Jean Shepherd site flicklives.com which has lots of info and 300+ shows available for listening.
I missed the "golden age of radio" by just a few years. I do remember as a very small child listening to something called (I think) "The Witches Tale." Scared the daylights out of me.
I lived in northern New Jersey then, so WOR was a local station.
