Spotlight on SPERDVAC activities:

  • New Radiogram is published; plus a new way to track audio updates

    The July-August issue of SPERDVAC’s Radiogram newsletter is now available online here on the website, and on its way to members’ mailboxes. This issue contains 16 ad-free pages of stories about “Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar”; a profile of collecting legend John Tefeteller; interviews with Donnie Pitchford of the Lum & Abner Society and voice actor Tanja Milojevic; and more…

    With the SPERDVAC audio library on the grow again these days, we’ve added a new page to the website onder Member Resources: “Latest Audio Additions.” It offers exactly that – a list of the most recent audio files added to online SPERDVAC’s in recent weeks, presented in reverse chronological order. Now you’ll won’t have to fear that you’ve missed any exciting new updates…and there are a lot – over 1200 recordings added in the last month alone.

  • “Classic Radio Network” Launched

    Yesterday USA Red, SPERDVAC, REPS and the American Council of the Blind have united to run the Classic Radio Network. “We want to give the listeners something different to listen to. You hear a lot of similar content from other online radio stations,” said SPERDVAC President Corey Harker. “It gives us an opportunity to have enough programming to not bore the listener.”

    Programming will be curated using content from the SPERDVAC and REPS libraries as well as long-time classic radio dealer Ted Davenport’s library – the most high quality files. “We expect to offer world premieres of shows that aren’t in circulation, including those from SPERDVAC’s acquisitions that we are even now cataloging and converting to digital format,” said Harker. “This is a joint venture and every group will be equally involved in bringing the united network to life. We’re excited about the potential for a new, stronger, more varied service for classic radio fans,” said Walden Hughes, president of REPS. “It’s very significant that we provide a means to bring back classic radio to the American Council of the Blind’s ACB3 network on Live365 after they needed to suspend it 18 months ago.”

    The Stream is available through the “Listen Live” link at the top right of the SPERDVAC website.

  • It’s a Wonderful Life at the Missouri Cherry Blossom Festival April 23–26, 2026

    Zach Eastman was pretty much a one-man SPERDVAC delegation when he produced and appeared in a full-cast live performance of Lux Radio Theatre’s audio version of “It’s a Wonderful Life” – with original “Wonderful Life” actress Karolyn Grimes among the cast – as part of the Missouri Cherry Blossom Festival in Marshfield, MO, which celebrated the 80th anniversary of this classic film. SPERDVAC has presented audio recreations at the Festival for several years running, and has been invited to return next year.

  • “Six Shooter” Audio Restoration

    SPERDVAC keeps delivering great stuff you need to hear. Corey Harker, SPERDVAC president, recently unveiled his latest audio restoration – the October 11, 1953 episode of The Six Shooter starring Jimmy Stewart: “Silver Annie.” The series only ran 39 episodes, but they are engaging dramas indeed. This restored example, now in crystal-clear sound, shows how good mid-century audio drama could be, dramatically and sonically.
