Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness with Tony Nesbitt
Hosted by Tony Nesbitt · EN
Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness will air the personal collection of the Norm Nathan Show for which I produced on WBZ-AM from 1989 until his sudden passing on October 29th, 1996.
Norm spent 50+ years in Boston Broadcasting working at WCOP, WESX, WMEX, WHDH, WEEI, WRKO, WMRE and WBZ. Whether news, talk or music…he did it, sometimes combining them all.
Many of the recordings you will hear were sent to me by a fan and friend, Joan McCool. Others are from my personal collection.
They will air as recorded, with the warmth an old, analog tape recording provides. Some with good, ol’fashioned home editing of the play/pause button. And ALL with the ever-comforting voice of Uncle Norm.
Thank you just so darn much for tuning in!

Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness with Tony Nesbitt - Ep 249 - Lots of Puns from '91
Aug 2100:57:03Tap to summarizeHere’s an excellent, maybe even one of the best examples of what I wish most of these tapes have on them here in the VoSt. Lots of commercials and promos, Norm reading accuwx and a story…all the stuff that fills out a show and adds more fun, especially when it came to the commercials. So, what am I talking about? It’s a DBG from August 15th, 1991 that I have titled: Lots of Puns from ’91 Players: Dan in Waltham Mike from Marshfield but sounds like he’s calling from Irene in CT’s phone Roberta Florence Mike Epstein producing and playing on the phone from the Space Shuttle Tony on the phone and no longer a full-time employee Jack Harte Bdays: Julia Child Wendy Hiller Rose Marie Mike Connors Linda Ellerbee Princess Anne And Gene Upshaw Bdays we didn’t use: Jim Dale And Janet Ruhle Post-Game Commercials: Steve Allen for Resolve Warner Home Video/Blockbuster WBZ Contest that had to do with the Time and a chime Norm reads a spot for LoJack Campbell’s N.E. Clam Chowder Marshfield Fair Promo Ask a Nurse Central Chrysler Plymouth Dodge National Dynamics Language Program Choice Magazine Listening Norm reads the Accuwx forecast from Bob Larner and check out the temps…sound familiar? He also reads a story about a musical version of “The Thin Man” called “Nick and Nora.” Ep 249, Lots of Pun from ’91, eye rolls its way to your ears in 3, 2 & 1.
