The Bill Cosby Radio Program (1968) | Super Rare | Brown Hornet

Episodes 171 & 172 of THE BILL COSBY RADIO PROGRAM (1968) taken from AM radio air checks recorded by the late Mike Schweizer in August/September of 1968 and shared at archive.org. Beginning in 1968, Bill Cosby began his long association with The Coca-Cola Company with a now-forgotten daily syndicated radio series, "The Bill Cosby Radio Program". Over 350 of the daily 5-minute comedy inserts were produced by Frank Buxton (who also doubled as the announcer and Bill's "straight man") and syndicated to over 200 teen-oriented (top 40) radio stations all over America on LP record by The Coca-Cola Company and distributed by McCann-Erikson (Coke's ad agency). Bill and Frank improvised each episode, with sound effects provided by Jack Benny's sound man, Gene Twombly. Tapes of these shows are extremely rare.
