Oh?

Only a few of the original broadcasts of A&A from the era that Ed
Boulton is re-creating have survived. Even though the show was
distributed to radio stations nationwide on LP, the records carried a
label that said "destroy after broadcast" as the creators were afraid
of unauthorized use. So what Ed is doing on WBCQ is truly recreating
lost broadcasts, just like he says.

Baloney! There are 267 original shows available on CD, some dating back to
the late 1920s.

Hey, if you enjoy Ed's show, send him some money. But the fact that he has
to buy time to do his broadcast shows that there's not much interest in this
kind of thing.
