“Forgotten Laughter: The Fred Alien Story” is unnecessarily negative about the availability of Fred Alien’s radio programs. Hundreds of his radio programs, including “The Linit Bath Club Review,” “Town Hall Tonight,” and “The Fred Alien Show,” are readily available. Access to these is through the various radio clubs throughout the country, not only in the clubs’ libraries but also in the private collections of members and through dealers, all of whom make these available at reasonable cost, sometimes just the cost of postage. Here in the Buffalo area is the Old Time Radio Club, which can be reached at 100 Harvey Drive, Lancaster, NY 14086.
