Pete, Paul and Dave present an installment of the long-running series "The Fred Allen Show". This time it's Pete's pick, a double-feature of Fred and the gang, with both episodes featuring Orson Welles as guest-star!  Will Dave, who leaves us for greener grass after this episode, love it? Will Paul, through his bitter tears, express his continuing hatred of Orson? Tune in and find out! <strong>(NARADA RADIO COMPANY)</strong></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-eighth number (but first official episode of S4), these episodes of <em>Fred Allen</em>, from 1942 and 1946. We'll introduce the shows, play them in their entirety, then discuss them 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 .
