And now, from approximately coast to coast... it's
Bob and Ray by Mort Drucker © Mort Drucker.

The Bob and Ray Public Radio Show/Bob And Ray Radio Show Index!

A note of explanation: From 1983 to 1987, after some people said they were no longer commercial, Larry Josephson (who must have been influenced by Project Farsight!) brought The Two And Only, Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding, to Public Radio as part of Public Radio Month. It was a match made in heaven. While the shows have since been reissued as "The Best of Bob & Ray" on RadioArt, the bits are all out of sequence. This page is an attempt to restore some sort of chronological order to the series. The original legwork (or webwork, if you will) was done by J. David Goldin (founder of Radio Yesteryear/Radiola Records, and maintainer of the GOLDINDEX of old radio shows), for which I am extremely grateful, as I had no access to this material myself. Thank you, J.

Oh, one other thing: If anybody knows of any other episodes that are missing, please let me know. Email me at j_withers@mailcity.com. Thank you. And now, on with the show... er, page!
