An interview with William N. Robson (1976)

Nice (commercial-free) interview here with William N. Robson, the sensational radio producer and director who worked for years on the CBS network on such shows as Suspense and Escape (among many others.)  I think you will enjoy this interview, which was done in 1976.

Tommy Cook (Junior) talks a little Life of Riley (1972)

Tommy Cook, who played Junior (for most of the run) on the Life of Riley, spoke a little about the show in 1972 in an interview.  Unfortunately, there's not much in it...

Do you have problems viewing the articles I post at the OTRr Buffet?

I understand some people have trouble viewing some of the articles posted here.

There are a couple of solutions to this: 

#1, if you see a "click to enlarge" (or even if you don't see this) left click on your mouse over the article.

#2 If the article is still too small, go back to the original article and RIGHT click on your mouse and choose OPEN IN A NEW WINDOW.  This should give you the article and chance for you to enlarge it even more with another mouse click.

#3 If all else fails, you can right click on the original article and choose to download it to your own computer; then you can view the article at your lesiure and size you choose on your graphics program.

Did you know this existed? The Secret Life of Rochester Van Jones

But...Boss...!

I'm sure that you die-hard Jack Benny fans are aware of the two-part audition show called, "The Secret Life of Rochester Van Jones."  But some of you other Jack Benny fans might not be aware of it.

It's obviously a show about Rochester, Benny's valet.  The two-part audition sounds like it came off perfectly.  It's funny and ... well, what happened?  I dunno but I don't believe it ever became a show.

At any rate, you can listen or download them here:

Did you know this existed? Here's Comes Mr. Kitzel!

Artie Auerbach as Mr. Kitzel

You die-hard Jack Benny fans might be aware of the existence of the audition called, "Here Comes Mr. Kitzel."

Others of you may not know of the show but if you enjoy Jack Benny's radio program, chances are you will enjoy this interesting audition.

The sound on this is amazingly good!

Vic and Sade blog "finished"

Well it's taken me a year and half -and just a bit more, but I'm technically finished with the Vic and Sade blog.

It was very, very rewarding as I learned a lot and met a lot of very interesting people.

I even put together a book.

Now realize, I'm not asking you to go and visit the blog and take a look around but if you haven't seen the blog since it's been finished, you might realize just how large it is (I dare say it rivals any OTR website in size and might be larger... who knows.)

Anyway, some recent additions can be found here.  The blog can be found here.

And if you don't listen to Vic and Sade, I suggest you download a few of my hand-fixed (commercial-free, organ-free) episodes and sit back and listen to what genius Paul Rhymer created.
