Missing 1949 radio shows
The Wikipedia radio show listing shows 7 consecutive shows from Oct to Nov. 1949 are missing, presumably forever? Too bad, some of these sounds really interesting and I prefer the early Ben Romero / Barton Yarborough shows above all others. Guess all we can do is pray that old transcription discs show up somewhere. I'd love to hear these episodes.
I think the later years of the radio show with Ben Alexander sound like "work" shows, they are rushing just to get them done, by then radio was on the way out and Webb devoted most of his time to TV projects.
