Today is the birthday of Larry King, who was born on November 19, 1933. In my teen years, I listened to a lot of local talk radio in the Philly area but the Larry King show was one of the few shows that aired during that time which was national. There was something about that show that just captivated me. I loved Open Phone America, where he took calls about any topic from 3:00-5:30 AM Eastern time. He had a guest on for three hours and he was a master at interviewing. He could even interview his own daughter and made it so interesting. His daughter Chaia sadly also passed away. I even called Larry at his hotel when he was in Philly and talked with him for around ten minutes.
I read both of his autobiographies. I wish more recordings were publicly available from his show on Mutual.
He was my favorite radio talk show host and one of our best interviewers. Here's a link to a blog post that I wrote about him when I learned of his passing.

@DavidGoldfield David, we recorded a lot of his shows most of them old radio guests and sports guests. It might take a while but, we can share them with you possibly by drop box?.
@JohnGassman John, that would be fabulous, but only when your time allows for it. There's absolutely no rush for it. The shows with guests from radio would be great.
