Radio Heroes: Jean Shepherd

Few people realize that the legendary Jean Shephard is first and foremost a radio man. From 1957 to 1977 he was a fixture of late night radio on NYC’s WOR. His freeform, honest and hilarious take on America was hugely popular among listeners, who rallied to his defense each time the station threatened to take him off the air due to his unorthodox methods.

His lengthy monologues we delivered on-air uninterrupted, and without the use of scripts. He’d work on the stories for weeks, committing them to memory before his broadcasts. Playboy Magazine printed the text versions over the years, and he later collected them in print volumes. The most famous, In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash was the basis for the classic filmA Christmas Story, a recounting of life growing up in 40’s America.

Shepherd is a precursor to David Sedaris; he’s able to capture the intense internal drama of childhood with a keen ear to its rhythms and sounds. The words may have changed over the last half-century, but the core feelings remain true.

His natural storytelling ability (and his amazing voice) gave the film it’s backbone, and is one of the reasons it endures today.

Check out Jean’s radio work on The Brass Figlagee or on the comprehensive Flick Lives.
