Every week I send my Minutia Men Co-Host Dave Stern a list from our audio archives for this week's Studio Walls feature. These are the possibilities for this week. Which one will he choose?

September 18, 1965—I Dream of Jeannie debuts. Ron Santo was a big fan of that show, and we have  great old WGN Radio promo audio/about Jeannie.
