So What Was David Letterman’s College Radio Show Like?

LettermanSince we saw that rather stunning Letterman/Leno/Oprah ad on The Super Bowl last night, I thought it might be interesting to post this audio from Dave’s 1969 radio show at Ball State University (WAGO).

He’s young here (it was 41 years ago!), but you can already see his style of humor in place. Not sure why it sounds so echo-y and metallic. That’s either because of the age of the audio or perhaps that’s what it sounded like on AM radio back then. The Internet Archive has more info about the show, and according to them, the woman that Dave calls is his then-wife Michelle.
