KGO Dreadful Mysteries

When someone lends his heart to radio...

Radio Ray Farrell Heartlender?

"Yeah, that's it," he said in earnest.

Back to the topic at hand (I think), which is "Dreadful Mysteries". I remember the show back in the mid 60s, with the original host, Claude the Magnificent, which I found out later was none other than Jim Dunbar, who spoke with a faux Transylvanian accent. The 2 hour show included vintage radio dramas "Secrets of Scotland Yard", "The Lives of Harry Lime (a.k.a. 'The Third Man')", "The Scarlet Pimpernel", and "The Black Museum". I have very fond memories of this show as a kid. I know that most, if not all of the radio dramas are available via various online sources. My question is does anyone here know how I might be able to obtain the original "Claude the Magnificent" segments? My thinking is to start by writing to KGO, but my expectations aren't real high for any response. I was wondering if there might be an easier way?

Why not? What do you have to lose?

Rita Hayworth = Margarita Carmen Cansino. Those of us old enough to remember Rita Hayworth are smiling knowingly.

So ... what was Bob Trebor's real name? :

Its Bob Estopinal. He is my grandfather
