Fred Allen, originally broadcast June 26, 1949. Fred Allen’s last radio show. His guest Henry Morgan is trying to keep his furniture from being repossessed, so Fred takes him to see Jack Benny in an attempt to get some help. Also part 2 of the 5 part Yours Truly Johnny Dollar story, The Longshot Matter, originally broadcast June 26, 1956. Variations on an old theme. You pay your money, and you take your choice. But no matter how you pick it, it comes out murder.

I'm done fighting with my doctors. A variety of health issues have led me to a decision that I hoped I wouldn't have to make for a couple of more years.

Classic Radio Theater will end June 30, 2023.

I want to thank everyone who made this show possible over the years. I know it's only about three weeks for stations to make alternate programming arrangements, but it's a choice that I had to make. I'm nearing 70 years of age, and the grind of producing these shows is just too much.

It has been my honor and pleasure to serve you these past eight years.
