1. great to have all of the episodes

   Posted by Rick Chadderdon

   I received The Story of Chickenman on time and in excellent condition. I love the set. I've been wishing for something like this for about three decades - ever since I wore out "The Best of Chickenman" on my old record player. Remember vinyl? Recordings sure weren't as durable back then, especially when you spun them backwards with your finger to decipher some squeaky alien language...
   
   It's great to have all of the episodes instead of just a tiny sample. Thank you so much for making these classics available to all of us old-time Chickenman fans!

2. every bit as funny as I remembered

   Posted by Ken Thomas

   I received my copy of The Story of Chickenman just in time to take it with me on my long trip back east. Well, it was every bit as funny as I remembered it from so many years ago. I had to explain to the couple sitting next to me on the plane why I was laughing so hard.
   
   Do you have any idea how hard it is explaining Chickenman to a couple of strangers on a plane??? I finally convinced the wife to listen to an episode... so here SHE is laughing, and her husband is awkwardly waiting for his turn. By the time we finished the flight, we were sharing such quips as, "rhyme is running cramped on the streets," and "I'm flapping, I'm flapping." Tell the wonderful, white-winged warrior he has two new fans in the air. ("He's everywhere, he's everywhere!")
   
   All that to be said, I can't thank you and Dick for making this available to us. Also, thank Dick for sharing his memories on the extra disk — very informative and fun!

3. My husband surprised me on my 49th birthday with the fabulous Chickenman series.

   Posted by Rose Wind

   For years and years, I have been asking my husband how in the world I could track down a copy of the radio program I was addicted to when I was in high school. I didn't remember Dick Orkin's name or the radio station I listened to for the show. I just remembered how funny it was and the basic premise of the series. My parents vaguely knew what I was talking about but were really no help whatsoever. My husband grew up in St. Louis and had never heard of the show, so I feared he would never be of much help. But thanks to the amazing research benefits of AOL, my husband surprised me on my 49th birthday with the fabulous Chickenman series.
   
   I can assure you that I have never been so excited about a gift in my life — really. There have been so many times over the years that I would ask people if they recalled the program; but no one did; end of subject. But now I am one happy camper and have been able to share my fortune with my family. I spend a lot of time in my car with a smile on my face — laughing out loud — as I share my ride with Chickenman and the great cast of characters. My husband and I listened with great interest to the special interviews and enjoyed them so. Needless to say, I am so pleased to own this copy and will treasure it always. I'm a huge fan and appreciate the casts' efforts and hard work. Dick Orkin is a genius!

4. Thank you SO MUCH for getting this package together!!

   Posted by William and Brenda Kumma

   We have been wanting more Chickenman for YEARS. We haven't made it through all of the c.d.'s yet, but what we've heard has been like the clouds have opened, light has shone down upon us, and the meaning of life has been revealed. Can't wait to see what happens when we listen to CD #2! We'll let you know what we think of the interview and the rest once we get to it. Thank you SO MUCH for getting this package together!!

5. To find every episode in one package was more than I had hoped to find.

   Posted by Robert Killingsworth

   I was very excited to finally find the story of Chickenman after years of searching stores, catalogs and web sites without success. To find every episode in one package was more than I had hoped to find. Thank you for making this available.
   
   Anyone who ever enjoyed listening to Chickenman on the radio should consider purchasing this package. It still makes me laugh and brings back many fond memories from when I was younger.

6. "Holy Grail" of collections

   Posted by Rodney J. Koch

   I first discovered Chickenman on my way home from work in my '77 Chevy pickup, tuning up & down the dial looking for something to keep me company during my commute. I came across a very small local station that (back then) broadcast out of an amusement park near downtown Portland. I thought then, (and still do) that it's hilarious, this is some of the BEST comedy I ever heard! Not to mention the character voices, dry humor & delivery! But the episodes were so short! I immediately wondered where I could get my hands on ALL of these!
   
   Ever since I first heard Chickenman on that dark, lonely drive home that night oh those many years ago I've kept my ear to the radio & Internet for even the SLIGHTEST mention of the "Holy Grail" of collections, the Caped Capon, Chickenman. I discovered your website and perused it once a year until I saw the link to purchase the WHOLE DAMN SERIES!!!!!!!!! and Voila!

7. Thanks for many good laughs

   Posted by Jeff Tom

   Over the years I've told many people about a radio serial that I listened to in Chicago long ago. Usually I'd get blank stares, as nobody would believe it. In a bit of serendipity I checked on the Internet to find some collaborating evidence of the character just about the time that the idea of putting up the series on CD was being hatched (so to speak). Well, now I have all the proof I'll ever need, and I can enjoy it when ever I want. Thanks for many good laughs and almost as many groans.

   Posted by Mark Bernstein

   The Story of Chickenman arrived as quick as I could have hoped. It's a lot of fun. The remarkable thing is how many episodes are so close to the way I remembered them.

9. People I work with who know Chickenman are jealous

   Posted by Chuck Young

   I always loved Chickenman and my wife had never heard of it; she likes it too! People I work with who know Chickenman are jealous but also interested, so I gave them your website.

10. I will have to admit though, that my kids think I'm a bit weird.

    Posted by Euan Thomson

    My Chickenman CDs are fantastic! I have played them in my car as I travel round New Zealand and have enjoyed them immensely. I will have to admit though, that my kids think I'm a bit weird.
