A radio disk jockey produces amazing miniature statuary. What makes this episode fun is that it was from the idea of real-life disk jockey Al "Jazzbo" Collins, who also appears as the disk jockey. The whole performance is full of great voices and great sounds. This is a good example of quality radio.
This is great fun to hear at last! Thank you, and much gratitude for your great X Minus One site!
I grew up with Al 'Jazzbeaux' Collins on local TV and radio, loved to hear him, and he used the expression "real gone" fairly often. I eventually found out that it was an episode of X Minus One, and just had to hear it. Now I have, thanks to you! He also had a live TV show in San Francisco in the '80s, and that was just...way out, man!
He was a real kick, and is greatly missed. You can read about and see what he looked like here:
