CBS Radio Workshop: The Record Collectors

The Record Collectors

This is an interview with two avid record collectors, one a man who adopted the title of doctor on the basis of a passing comment and the other a fellow who constructs nightmarish monsters for Christmas parades. Both are fanatical about their hobby, firmly reject impure innovations past the wax cylinder as well as modern singers and generally fail to do anything that would convince people not already part of their folie à deux that records are worth anyone's time.

I know of no persons like the pair in this play.

Let me guess - this was aired around the same time as the VHS v Betamax or Laserdisc v DVD wars?

Ha ha ha no. April 27, 1954.

So the "Doctor" is not Demento, then.

That damned new-fangled magnetic tape is going to ruin everything!
