Rich,

You might try checking with Max Schmid at WBAI or his web site 
www.oldtimeradio.com
for Jean Shepherd material.

Also, old Jean Shepherd shows are now aired every Monday at 5pm EDT on 
WBCQ, 7415khz
(shortwave).

I, like many, have a collection of Shepherd shows, mostly 1/4 inch open reel
recordings I made off-air from WOR in the 1960's and early 1970's.  I much 
prefer
his earlier work at WOR when he was on late just before Long John Nebel.  This
was well before he started doing club appearances, PBS shows, Playboy articles,
book, and movies.  In the late 1950's and early 1960's he was still a 
struggling
radio entertainer/storyteller.
