We chase electrons to and fro!

This site is dedicated to The Joy Boys, Ed Walker and Willard Scott, who entertained Washington DC listeners on WRC radio from 1955 to 1972. We also remember their years together on WWDC, WOL, and WMAL. We have lots of pictures, stories, and sound clips from their shows over the years.

Our latest collection, Remember the Joy Boys, Volume Four: Milestones. is now available through this web site. Click here to learn more and to receive ordering information.

All three of our previous 'greatest hits' collections are still available! Click on the picture below for more information.

We also have over a hundred other Joy Boys CDs with complete shows and comedy bits-n-pieces, listed on our Audio page. To see them all, click here.

Please contact us for information about ordering any of our CDs. We now accept PayPal too!

We've added lots of new stories and pictures. On our Pictures page, photos of Willard, the Today Show crowd, and Ed Walker's surprise birthday party.

On the History page, we have new items on two famous WRC characters, Morgan Beatty and Carleton Smith, and some news clippings from the early Joy Boys days. We've also updated the Eddie Leonard and Kennedy Ludlam stories. Plus lots of letters from you, the listeners, in our Tales department.

And don't forget that we are now up to 117 Joy Boys CDs available through this web site! For samples, check our Audio and ALLCLIPS pages.

And please keep those cards, letters, and tapes coming!
