Editorial Notes

• Transcription-disc data (from the surviving disc): listed as #15 on the label, #17 on the transcription matrix [otrd]. The matrix numbers do not follow the label order -- primary evidence that the circulating set is a re-sequenced syndication package.
• Air date CORRECTED 1946-11-25 -> 1946-11-24. The canonical Haendiges log dates this broadcast 1946-11-24 [haendiges]; the 1946-11-25 value came from the OTRR held-copy filename [otrr-log] (and oldtimeradiodownloads [otrd], which mirrors those filenames, so is not independent). The series aired weekly on Sundays and 1946-11-24 is a Sunday, while 1946-11-25 is a Monday and was the ONLY non-Sunday date in all 26 episodes. Leaving it would have made the date-keyed log/spine union seat a phantom 27th episode -- the same show twice.

Production Notes

• Transcription-disc data: #15 on the label, #17 on the matrix.
• Air date corrected 1946-11-25 -> 1946-11-24: the Haendiges log and the run's unbroken weekly-Sunday cadence both point to the 24th; see the program's broadcast-history section.
