Radio Spirits is proud to present a collection of radio's final episodes. Ten digitally restored and re-mastered hours that recreate radio's greatest moments while showcasing the last shows of a series, a season, or airing on a network. These moments include Bob Hope's last show with guest Jerry Colanna, Fred Allen' s final broadcast with Jack Benny and the final episodes from Vic and Sade, Dimension X, Gunsmoke, and more. Be entertained by the 22 episodes as well as by the 32-page historical booklet that is included in this Famous Finales collection. Memorable broadcasts that will leave you thrilled, intrigued and even laughing-out-loud as the actors and actresses make their final performance and entertain audiences for the last time.
