The Brass Figlagee A Jean Shepherd Podcast

"The Brass Figlagee" is a blog to help you find a Jean Shepherd Podcast of the same name. Shep was a gifted humorist/storyteller whose mix of satiric wit and insight into Who And Why We Are made him famous through his radio work from the 1950s through 1980s. Today he is best-known for his movie, "A Christmas Story," though the newly curious can learn much from the man and his brilliant ramblings.

I had the pleasure of meeting him a few times (couple of book signings and a singing performance of a choral piece.)I met him at a book singing once and when I saw him over a year later he rememberd me right off the bat. That was Shep, taking the time to tell a story to me and taking the time to remember a kid who will always remeber him.

Thank you!; 12/08/2006 7:27 PM

Thanks for the heads up. I spent quite a bit of time searching for duplicates based on title, date, and program length. I culled about 60 shows that were partial or full repeats of other shows. Unfortunately, one slipped through, and there will probably be a few more. Too bad they were so close together. I'll have a listen and decide what, if anything, to do.
