You have to go to the home page and thru the sales page to make any 
sense of how to buy these.  Note that the disc Watch the Fords Go By 
includes segments from the Feb 12, 1934 program where George Gershwin 
plays, talks, and participates in a choral parody of Rhapsody In Blue, 
celebrating its 10th anniv that day.  Peter sent me a cassette a few 
years ago, it's good stuff.  World recorded the Ford programs, so the 
sound quality is fantastic -- at least it is on the disc I have from the 
series.
