Old Time Radio Snack Wagon Smorgasboard (EP4514e)
In August 2023, we launched the Old Time Radio Snack Wagon, featuring a variety of short old time radio programs. In this episode, we offer five samples of the type of programs we feature on the Old Time Radio Snack Wagon.Family Doctor: False Witness"Hello there, this is the Family Doctor...."Join us as we travel back in time to a small town, where Doctor Grant Adams dispenses medicine for the body and common sense advice for the soul, in this little-known family drama series from the 1930s.In this first episode, a teenage girl becomes the subject of gossip after some church money turns up missing. Can Doc Adams prevent a tragedy?Potential series air dates for the series vary from 1932-38. The earliest I can find a record of the series being aired was in the fall of 1937. Unsolved Mysteries: The Borden MysteryOn this first syndicated episode of the 1930s series Unsolved Mysteries, we take a look at the mysterious slaying of Andrew Borden and his second wife Abby in 1892 and how suspicion fell on Andrew's daughter, Lizzie.Unsolved Mysteries not only explains the case in a nutshell but also offers a solution to the crime.While Unsolved Mysteries was a syndicated true crime series in the 1930s, it didn't start out that way.We take a look at the series's origin and the original program's sponsorship by Ken-Rad, a Kentucky-based firm selling radio tubes.The series originated from Station WLW in Cincinnati, and we talk about the station's forgotten role in the Golden Age of Radio as America's superstation, and why it was called that.Cecil B. DeMille interviews Walt Disney about Snow WhiteTwo Hollywood legends share a stage in this listener-inspired Snack Wagon.The year is 1937. A young filmmaker is about to release a groundbreaking new work, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Walt Disney was invited on the Lux Radio Theater to be interviewed Hollywood director Cecil B. DeMille about the film and about what future projects he was working on.The interview took place on December 20, 1937 in Hollywood, the day before Snow White's premiere.The Adventures of Babe Ruth: Babe Takes the BlameWhile on the road in Chicago, Babe tries to help a young boy who was pressured to steal from him by an older boy, and finds himself in plenty of trouble.Originally Aired in 1949Sponsored by US Navy Recruiting; the announcer is Jackson BeckJack Benny and Fred Allen Patch Up the Feud for ChristmasFor the special Command Performance Christmas Eve show, a serviceman requested that Jack Benny and Fred Allen patch up their feud, and this is their answer.The segment is introduced by Bob Hope who hands the show to Fred Allen and Jack Benny in New York.Original Radio Broadcast Date: December 22, 1942Subscribe to the Old TIme Radio Snack Wagon at https://www.snackwagon.net
