This week’s highlights feature some belated birthday blocks plus regularly scheduled ones.
Both Gracie Allen and Harold Peary get two specialty blocks. Gracie will logically be featured in multiple Burns & Allen episodes plus make visits to both The Bob Hope Show and The Jack Benny Program.
It’s the 19th year of Christmas In July, a weeklong celebration cooling things during the heat of the summer with classic Christmas themed radio offerings. Since 2003, the RadioClassics channel has offered up this 7 days of wall-to-wall Christmas special featuring holiday episodes from nearly all of the classic programs, comedies and dramas.
Lots of significant series anniversaries and birthdays this week. But first, I want to remind all of you that this year’s Christmas In July Week (The 19th Annual!) will air Monday July 19th – Sunday July 25th.

U.S. Independence Day Specials (and for my Canadian listeners, Happy July 1st – Canada Day!)
We have some traditional patriotic fare from Norman Corwin and James Cagney (Yankee Doodle Dandy), we also have a couple Revolutionary War stories from the NBC series Inheritance plus The CBS Radio Workshop’s audio tribute to the USA known as “Sounds Of A Nation”.
