The Jean Shepherd Show

A Clarion Call

WOR New York

English · Radio, Humor, Memoirs

Jean Shepherd brings his distinctive voice and storytelling style to this radio program from WOR in New York. His broadcasts blend personal reminiscence, observation, and humor, turning everyday experiences and familiar subjects into lively spoken entertainment.

Shepherd’s delivery is conversational and richly detailed, moving between anecdotes, reflections, and comic commentary. The pleasure lies in following his train of thought as he builds a story through vivid language, unexpected turns, and a keen eye for the absurdities of ordinary life.

Warm, wry, and unmistakably personal, the program offers an intimate encounter with one of radio’s most individual storytellers. This broadcast is titled “A Clarion Call.”
