Arriving 6/29/19
Between the Covers of Chuck’s New Book:
HE SHARES the story of how he became the producer and host of Those Were The Days, the radio nostalgia program that began in 1970.
HE TELLS how he struggled to keep his program on the air even when stations were sold and formats changed.
HE REVEALS how he met Captain Midnight, The Shadow and the star of the First Nighter program at a luncheon in a Chinese Restaurant on Hollywood Boulevard.
HE DESCRIBES how he was able to meet and then work with Fibber McGee, Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve and Mayor LaTrivia. He tells of meeting and interviewing Jack Benny, Agnes Moorehead, Edgar Bergen and many other radio stars and personalities.
AND HE RECALLS how he met the girl of his dreams and how she has been by his side throughout his Radio Days.
