This morning, June 27, 2025, from 4 to 6 am, it's request night, featuring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. Victor Wulff wants to hear THE LUX RADIO THEATRE version of “To Have and Have Not,” and a related JACK BENNY show, and so he shall, as will we all! Of course we begin with weekly episode of GUNSMOKE.

Tune in to WBAI-NY 99.5 FM at 4am, or listen to the stream at wbai.org for THE GOLDEN AGE OF RADIO, produced by Max Schmid.

GUNSMOKE from CBS (via the AFRTS) on July 28, 1957 #277 "Cow Doctor.” Ben Pitcher, who hates doctors, sends for Doc Adams to tend his cow.
