Just when you think there are no more ways to package The Six Shooter, one shows up. This one has all 39 episodes, plus the NBC audition program and the Hollywood Star Playhouse version, all in the .mp3 format. …
Stoned Ape?
Stoned Ape? released their Psychotropical album in 2016. One of the tracks on the album is the 13:55 long Jimmy Stewart. They try to imitate Stewart’s voice and there are also many references to his films. Its an interesting song is you can make it through the entire thing. The members of the group are:…
Bing Crosby Radio Appearances
This CD, released by the Nostalgia Company (CD-3293), could just have easily been called “Jimmy Stewart Radio Appearances.” As you can see from the track listing, James Stewart also was featured in both programs. Blogs for both programs have already been published. For Freedom Under God, only the Stewart bits were included, so we’re giving…
DJ Dirty Mastodon
This Toronto, Canada, artist apparently doesn’t like the way Jimmy Stewart tells a joke. He pokes fun at Jimmy’s slow delivery on his 2016 track, Jimmy Stewart Takes 4 ******* Hours to Deliver a Joke. This would be some feat, considering the entire recording is only three minutes in length and only a little over…

The song can also be purchased alone and has a special sleeve designed for those who do. The song’s lyrics contain many references to the Stewart film. Listen closely…

Louella Parsons – Newly Discovered Show Featuring Jimmy Stewart
It is still amazing to us that after more than 10 years of almost constant research, new radio shows continue to turn up. Recently we came across this listing in the Quad-City Times, Davenport, IA. It was dated February 18, 1951, so we searched other newspapers printed on that date. The Louella Parsons Show was…
Robert Taylor on the Air
The final disc in this 6-CD Robert Taylor set features the Good News of 1938 program broadcast on February 10, 1938 (not 1948 as the CD label states). Taylor was the host of that evening’s show and Jimmy Stewart was a guest. Stewart was there with John Carradine, both of whom were starring in a…
