Rare tapes revealed: Lucille Ball has SiriusXM podcast decades after death

Lucille Ball, the dearly departed doyenne of American sitcom television, who died in 1989 at age 77, is bouncing onto the audio streaming scene this week with a revealing new SiriusXM comedy show, “Let’s Talk to Lucy.”

“Ancient tapes” from the “I Love Lucy” icon’s short-lived 1960s CBS Radio show feature newly resurrected rare — and raw — interviews between the revered redhead and old Hollywood legends like Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Carol Burnett and Bob Hope, to name just a few.

“It’s a treasure trove of personal information from some of the greatest talents of American entertainment,” said Lucie Arnaz, 70, Ball’s daughter with her late television and real-life husband, Desi Arnaz — who died in 1986 of lung cancer at 69.

The recordings — unheard for more than 50 years — originally aired on the CBS radio network between 1964 and 1965. They have remained archived in the family’s private collection for decades.

“My family and I can’t wait to share them with the rest of the planet,” Arnaz added.

The limited three-week series is set to debut Thursday and will air on SXM Channel 104, as well as on Pandora and Stitcher.

It started airing on SiriusXM last Wednesday. I was listening to a little bit of it on Friday.

I've heard some episodes of this show already from DVD sets, My Favorite Martian has a couple of episodes as Lucy talks to Ray Walston & Bill Bixby and I've also heard the Bing Crosby episode from an extra on a Bing DVD. But instead of putting them on Sirius they should really be on a real podcast everyone can go to and play a show as they choose.

I also didn't like the newspaper write-up about it when they called these shows "ancient" and saying Lucy's dead but still doing a "podcast" (really a Sirius radio station you have no control over). Ancient and dead, never say these words to an old person.
