Cooper and Chappell's Quiet, Please!

Introductory note..
The content in this blog is nothing more than bits and pieces of http://quietplease.96.lt/ , and you'll really get a better presentation by viewing it there. I originally intended to build the sight on blogger, but just couldn't figure out how to lay it out the way I wanted to , so I found a free webserver and built it there.. However, since I notice I've been getting more hits on this blog than over there, I guess I'll begin transfer it into separate post here, little by little, to take advantage of that!.. although it's not going to be nearly as organized..

To start off with, here's a little audio mash-up of sorts, consisting of little clips I threw together from numerous different episodes of the program, as a teaser ( a little long though), and below, some introductory info on what this radio program was....

The Story of  a Radio Drama

Although "Quiet, Please" is nearly 70 years old, it remains fresh and undated. The productions are very basic and simple, yet it shines vibrant and distinct.
The program is unique, has a charm, and stands apart from the rest.

This is an enchanting series. A lost classic, found again, which warrants a stronger recognition in the public arena of today,  I don't stand alone in admiration, it has already established a substantial cult following, which continues to expand, even extending beyond just that of the Old Time Radio fanfare realm.

'Quiet, Please' was a radio program produced at the WOR studios in New York City.
The weekly series aired a total of 105 episodes from June 8th 1947 until June 20th of 1949. It originated on the Mutual Broadcasting System, and about a year later made the jump to the more lucrative ABC radio network.
