| Am seeking to find recordings of Walter Winchell radio broadcasts of Sunday, September 6 and 13, 1953. Any suggestions on where to find such recordings would be greatly appreciated... |

You can stop searching, Thomas, they don't exist. Virtually all of Winchell's programs, most entitled "Jergen's Journal", were done live. Very few airchecks have survived; in fact, from the period 1931 to 1957, only 24 episodes still exist are in trading currency now. And there are none from the year 1953, when he was sponsored by Gruen Watches for the first half of the year, and multi-sponsors for the remainder of 1953.
