Tuesday is occasionally reserved for the bizarre, and we've got that for you today. The CBS Radio Workshop was an experimental program, often with programs that defied conventional tropes. Originally broadcast in April 1956, "The Record Collectors" is an over-the-top satire hosted by John Dehner. The program introduces two eccentric (and fictional) record collectors who are convinced that music peaked with 78 RPM records. As they spar with real-life musical guests including Margaret Whiting and Lynn Murray, they take aim at all the latest innovations of that day, including high fidelity sound, LP records, and just about everything else.
