Shep was on the radio for over 30 years.
Although he was involved with writing books, movies, and
countless magazine stories, this is the medium from which
many of his fans remember him. Most notably for the WOR New
York Years.

Shep's 'favorite' part of the show was the commercials.
He always considered them an unnecessary interruption to his train of thought and flow of material and many times
commented so.
