Aircheck Of The Week

 

This week's subject is K.O. Bayley, sometimes known as K.O. Beachin or Bob Elliot. K.O. worked in many cities, but is best remembered in Detroit, San Diego, New York, and San Francisco. This week we'll listen to K.O. on KFRC/San Francisco. I understand that he was a favorite of Boss Radio 66's Tom Hanks. So Tom, this one's for you!

Aircheck Of The Week

Welcome to Aircheck Of The Week, a brand new Monday feature for Boss Radio 66. Our inaugural post is from Cleveland, where in 1967, WKYC was battling WIXY for Top 40 dominance. The legendary Jackson Armstrong (Guinness World Record holder as the world's fastest talking human) is holding down the evening timeslot. This was originally a telescoped aircheck, meaning that the music was edited out, however, it has been restored to enhance the listening experience.

This Week In '66 - Fin

 

With Lynn Peril

With 44 installments behind us, we’ve come to the last episode of This Week in ‘66! In addition to some news stories (JFK! HUAC!), I wrap up with some thoughts about the year and how far we have/haven’t come. 

I’d like to thank Boss Radio 66 impresario Debbie Daughtry for giving me the opportunity to dip my toe into podcasting, as well as for her skill as a sound engineer. Thanks also to Johnny Bartlett for creating the fab cover images. Thank you to everyone who took the time to click through and listen to an episode. My biggest, deepest appreciation goes to all of you who’ve told me how much you’ve enjoyed the show! Thank you for those kind words. 💓💗💕
