The Hour 25 Archives
Show Listings

          The links below go to pages listing the broadcasts of Hour 25, their air dates and show content. This list will grow VERY slowly since I'll be making it while I transfer the shows from open reel to audio CD. While I'm doing the transfer from tape to CD myself, I have had help from other people over the years which I want to thank them for. They've made things much easier for me. I especially want to thank Ralph Evans, without his help the archives would have ended in late 1993. Now here's that list.

          Over the years Hour 25 had several different themes to open and later to close the show. Here's a sample of the themes and how they changed.

The Themes

• Original Theme.
  When the show started it ran for 3 hours, it was still 3 hours when I began taping it in October of 1974. This is the theme they were using at that time.


• May 1975 Theme.
  In May of 1975, as Mike Hodel put it, “We got so popular they cut our time to 2 hours.”


• June 1977 Theme.
  In June of 1977 there was an entirely new theme which no longer mentioned Kathrine Calkin, just Mike Hodel, Mitch Harding, and Terry Hodel. This is the first time they played the theme so it is longer than what came to be used later on each week.
