Formed by Jean Shepherd, Leigh Brown, Laurie and Herb Squire.

They distributed a syndicated version of "The Jean Shepherd Show" from April 76 through about April 1, 77.
Leigh Brown was Shep's producer and later became his wife.
Herb Squire was an engineer for WOR and was Shep's engineer from the late 60's to 1977 when Shep left WOR.
Herb's wife Laurie was Shep's producer for a couple of years, initially just the syndication duties,
and then she produced the WOR show until its conclusion in 1977.

These were 30 minute formats of earlier 45 minute WOR shows.
The commercials were removed and some of Shep's dialog to make the 30 minute package.

According to the contract stations would receive 2 30 minute tapes per week at $8.00 / week for the first 13 weeks and $10.00 / week thereafter. Lost tapes would have to be paid for by the stations at a rate of $3.50 per tape and $9.50 per mailing container.

Seems to be for all his live appearances - is this right? Any idea when it started, etc.? Was it just for such things as Carnegie Hall, Town Hall?

On the  3/72 "Creepy Stories" show, Shep does an ad for an upcoming live show at the Carlton Theatre in Red Bank, NJ on 4/7/72. It was done with a big fanfare and Shep mentions that it is being presented by Staggerwing Productions.

Staggerwing, on the other hand, is also a bi-plane made by Beechcraft.
With Shep's love of flying this may have been the inspiration for the name.

According to inside back flap of Leigh's book she was co-owner.

Seems to relate to his movies / tv movies ? (all of them?)

Shep recorded a group of shows in the mid 1960s (Late 1964-65) for Hartwest Productions. These shows were never aired or released until in 2005 they were licensed to Choice Ventures who released them on sets of CDs.

It is not certain if Shep had any financial interest in this production company.
