| 1:04.1 | things, with a variety of different specials and mini-series. Most recently, we had that great summer of Robert Louis Stevenson series we did, |
| 1:16.1 | and we are returning for two weeks. Coming up tomorrow on The Amazing World of Radio, we'll have our |
| 1:24.3 | annual Thanksgiving show. |
| 1:36.3 | And then something that's not announced in that episode is we will have a special featuring the late June Lockhart. |
