This one is actually television audio (correct date of this TV show was December 8, 1956). The Open Mind wasn't on radio until January 20, 1957.

ghemrats -  Any way of getting your downloads of "Open Mind" without having to use Mediafire?  I will not downland any file that claims to 'Help Me' upgrade a program that I don't use.

Thanks for any help.
