The X Random Factor contains all the classic elements of Jean Shepherd’s brilliant radio work, combining humor, story telling, kazoo playing, and general musings on everyday life and the nature of man; from being yanked into the world, the quicksand myth, to being left behind by the world around you.

So listen and enjoy The X Random Factor. Learn why there’s a turtle on the cover, and remember there are 9 to 5 odds against anything in life. Keep your knees loose!

The radio programs in this collection, long lost and forgotten, were created in the mid 1960’s by Shepherd for radio and television syndicator Hartwest Productions in the format heard on Shepherd’s WOR shows of the day, right down to his familiar Bahn Frei theme music.

Includes liner notes with excerpts from the biography EXCELSIOR, YOU FATHEAD! The Art and Enigma of JEAN SHEPHERD By Eugene B. Bergmann.
