You can listen to Jean Shepherd himself tell the story of the "I, Libertine" hoax during a radio show here: http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2008/06/the-i-libertine.html It's 40 min long, but well worth it and hilariously funny. I've always been fascinated by this story, it speaks volumes of the world we live in and how people are easily influenced and manipulated. |

Hundreds of his shows from the 50s through to the 70s are archived at archive.org—so many in fact that I was able to locate the very first show I ever listened to as a kid decades ago. I hadn't heard the episode since its original broadcast but I recognized it immediately which indicates how vividly he can tell a story.
A couple of particularly good ones that I remember:
