<p><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/83177/OTR-E_Ep_35.jpg" alt= "" width="400" height="400" /></p> <p>Old-time Radio Essentials continues its 3rd season with an episode of <em>Birds Eye Open House</em> – "Groucho Brings a Turkey for Thanksgiving Dinner"! This one's Pete's pick, or rather, that of his special guest, Essential Listener Noah Diamond*. Noah's an actor, author, podcaster, Marxian Scholar, and off-Broadway Groucho impersonator, not to mention a very funny guy, so you can imagine the discussion of this episode's merits by Noah and our three co-hosts will be sparkling and rapid-fire and exceptionally funny. But why imagine it? Tune in and find out!</p> <p>And since we're on the subject of finding things out, while you listen you'll learn if we feel this entry meets the following criteria:</p> <div class="libsyn-item-body"> <p><em>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.")</em></p> <p><em>2. Is it an episode worthy of inclusion in any and every OTR aficionado's private collection?</em></p> <p>So with this in mind, we three bring you, as our thirty-fifth number (but 10th official episode of S3), this episode of <em>Birds Eye Open House</em>, from 11/22/45. 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! </p> <p>Please show your support of the podcast by doing any of the following...</p> <p>To comment on how we might improve OTR-E, or give suggestions for future discussions, please write to us at f6point3@gmail.com .
