Excelsior You Fathead!
Listening to our great leader's selected shows from years ago is very uplifting, and I am collecting all that are available. His candor and often unique point of view is what got me through some difficult teenage and young adult years, and I enjoy hearing his voice whenever I can.

as the master of the radio once put it, the transmision will go on for infinity traveling out into space and you only need the electronics to listen in again and again. we dont have to leave the comfort of the planet to catch his radio shows, a wonderful slice of the good life spitting out of those little coaxial drivers. recommended but from a person who cannot get enough jean shepherd.

Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories: And Other Disasters
Jean Shepard is without a doubt the most hilarious writer that America can claim! It is impossible to read any of his books without a belly laugh and for those of us born before television arrived, he captures the essence of sitting in front of the radio painfully waiting for DRINK OVALTINE codes! He is a ray of sunshine for all who read his books...and they are ALL worth reading!

Main Street Books, 1991

A deserved classic
New York-based writer Ralph Parker is sent back to his hometown of Hohman, Indiana, to write an article about small-town life. Instead, he winds up in a bar run by a childhood friend, trading stories and reminiscing about what it was like to grow up in Hohman during the Great Depression, warts and all. Most of you are probably already familiar with at least parts of this book, even if you don't ...

OUTSTANDING INSIGHT INTO SCIENCE
This is a wonderful book that details the difference between how men and women approach science. It demonstrates those charactoristics that women can uniquely bring to science. As a mathematician I was impressed with Dr. Shepherd's rigorous scholarship and enjoyed her interviews with living women scientists. I'm a father of a teenage girl who plans a career in science, and I appreciate ...

A Christmas Story: The Book That Inspired the Hilarious Classic Film

Worth a Listen, and a Read!
After having been a fan for years of the movie, "A Christmas Story" I've wanted for some time to read the original stories upon which it was based. Recently, that opportunity came to pass in the form of the audio version of this book as read by Dick Cavett. It did not disappoint! In fact, I suspect hearing the book probably in many ways was even better than reading it. Much of Shepherd's ...

Jean Shepherd: Kicks
Jean Shepherd

Radio Again, 2008

Jean Shepherd likes to muse out loud about what we say and what we do - and why we say it and why we do it. In this collection, Shep regards the thirst for holiness, victimization by myths, official discoveries known to the world for a thousand years, and visits with Og and Charlie in a story of the birth and development of music -- all while pointing out and puncturing many an over inflated balloon of thought. Four digitally restored and ...

Everybody likes Fig Newtons
12 hilarious stories about common catastrophes, humiliating experiences, picking on toddlers and tailgating on the Jersey Turnpike. A testimonial for virtually every teen growing up in America today. Not as good as Shepherd's first two books, but entertaining nonetheless.

Doubleday, 1978

A FINE JEAN SHEPHERD TV FILM--the script and the introduction
Jean Shepherd was THE master of improvisational talk-radio (he was recently inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame). He wrote 23 stories for Playboy, made films including A CHRISTMAS STORY, and did fine television work. This television film is, in my opinion, the best he created--combining his written tales for TV. His long introduction to the book is fascinating for giving an insight into the TV ...
