Jean Shepherd - Ethics of Fallout Shelters 1961/10/16

[@andrewm4564]

Thanks very much for posting this and all of the other recordings of Shep's radio musings. Excelsior!

I haven't seen the sky blocked out by a huge migrating flock of Canadian Geese since the 70s, and I do remember hearing not only their calling, but also, even as high as they were flying, I could loudly hear their wings flapping.

Sixty-three years later, and I hope Shep is right about that last point as well. Even if it has become an increasingly grim hope as of late.

This was recorded too fast. It plays faster than normal. I had to record it and slow it down by 4 percent to make it sound correct.

[@cmans79tr7]

Matt - I found a new feature on this vid on my android that lets me slow it down to .95 speed. Sounds great and relaxing at .95👌

Jean in RARE form!!!

[@christopherwall2121]

Rare is right, I don't think I've ever heard him _angry_ before.

[@dappergent3570]

Very much so. This is one of a handful of episodes where you can tell that Shep is really bugged. -DG

Stockhausen!

A lifeboat built for four may capsize with five. That may have been the prevailing thought of the day.

Flick lives!

Need of a fallout shelter indicates that it's likely that no one will be subject to further ethical considerations.

He talks nasty. Makes fun of people.

[@TheKyleofSuburbia]

We need to get this guy OFF THE AIR!

[@androiduploadsutube]

How can that bother you? Especially with what we have with Trump today? I will listen to this and see what you are referring to.

​@@TheKyleofSuburbiawho?

[@androiduploadsutube]

Oh, little fat guys smoking cigars honking the horn? Does this bother you?
