Episode 10 -- "Opening a Gas Station",\\xa0The Abbott & Costello Program

Welcome to Old-Time Radio Essentials, a new podcast wherein a specific episode from a selected OTR series is presented, and then discussed by three co-hosts: Pete Lutz, Jane St. John and Paul Arbisi; to determine whether or not it meets the following criteria:

1. Is it truly representative of that series? (Can anyone point to it and say, "Yes, that is what [NAME OF SERIES] was all about.")

2. Is it an episode worthy of inclusion in any and every OTR aficionado\'s private collection?

So with this in mind, we three bring you, as our tenth installment (and Jane\'s selection), this episode of\\xa0The Abbott & Costello Program\\xa0from 1945. We\'ll introduce the show, play it in its entirety, then discuss it at length. Thanks for joining us, and we hope you enjoy it!\\xa0

And on a sad note, we pay tribute and say farewell to one of our co-hosts.\\xa0
