One of the things I'm grateful for in 2023 is happening upon the recordings of a certain radio program. Proudly We Hail started after WW2 as a show of a mere fifteen minutes, but it was one dedicated to bringing true Short Stories to its listening audience. Under the writing baton of Tom Petty (yeah, not THAT Tom Petty...) some wonderful performances rang out live to everywhere in the world the Armed Forces Network broadcast. 

To remind us how delightful the Short Story form can be (with its requisite twist), I present Richard Hall's original work entitled Filling Station Falstaff. This is to get you accustomed to listening to stories told in what we'd consider audio book format, but with a full slate of actors and accompanying sound effects. This work was first presented live on the evening of December 25, 1946
