The November 1st episode of "Rogue's Gallery" is missing, or was never recorded by anyone. So this is the closest show to a "Halloween" broadcast Rogue's Gallery got. It's not really a Halloween story. Rogue's Gallery was usually evergreen in their stories, with a few exceptions, so it's not surprising this one doesn't have a Halloween flavor to it. But we might hear a few clues as to the time of hear, if we listen closely.

I plan to see him June 20 in Asbury, NJ (which should not be confused with Asbury Park, NJ).

The comment about Butter costing "points." Here's a little something I found online that explains it:

"During World War II, the United States used a point system to ration certain foods, such as meat, fish, dairy, sugar, cooking oil, and canned goods. Each eligible American was given two ration books, one with red coupons for meat, fish, and dairy, and the other with blue coupons for processed goods. At the start of each month, people received 48 blue points and 64 red points."

This is the show that aired closest to Thanksgiving for Rocky Jordan. I don't think they did any holiday shows, except for Christmas. (And we don't have recordings of those, I think.) So in many ways, this is the Thanksgiving broadcast for this show, even if there isn't much content along those lines...

In 2022, I was incensed when CHML cut down their 10 PM to 1 AM block of “Those Old Radio Shows” from 7-days-a-week to just Saturday & Sunday nights.
Now it’s worse. Sunday nights (technically Monday mornings) got cut down to just one hour: midnight to 1 AM.

Woah! What a bummer.

I was thinking about this the other day. Growing up, I would turn the dial, and hear lots of Old Time Radio shows, at night, on all sorts of stations. That's how I fell in love: turning in, late at night, and not really knowing what I was hearing, but being very compelled to keep listening!

It's a shame this stuff isn't more readily available. I think the popularity of podcasts has proved that people love audio narratives, and these old shows sort of slot in with what is going on in that world.

Agree with you all on OTR on radio now... I think there is a station that plays them all night here (Toronto area, although station is in??). Last time I checked a couple months ago.
