Old time radio drama exists because of hobbyists and radio personnel, who rescued episodes of shows on transcription tapes and on glass or vinyl records. Some radio programs are presumed lost, primarily those from the 1930s – few programs from the 1920s were recorded

Big Jon and Sparkie

Big Jon being Jonathan Arthur who not only created and played the part of the leading character Sparkie but also his fantasy friends Mayor Plumpfront and Ukey Betcha as they embarked on wonderful adventures.
