A Mixed Bag on a Sunday...

First a look at the events of the day

Then Stan Freberg, originally broadcast October 6, 1957, 67 years ago, All About Werewolves.  "Cocktails For Two," "Gray Flannel Hat Full Of Teenage Werewolves," a great story about a werewolf who changes into a horrible monster in the daylight (an advertising executive!)

We follow that with the news from 67 years ago, then Yours Truly Johnny Dollar starring Bob Bailey, originally broadcast October 6, 1957, 67 years ago, The Bum Steer Matter. Cattle rustlers? Yes and no, but it's anthrax that counts!

Then It Pays to be Ignorant, originally broadcast October 6, 1944, 80 years ago with guest Deems Taylor.  An Armed Forces Radio recording of the zany show. The first question (during the program): "What is the name of the Indian maiden the song (to be played) is about?" Don't miss, "The Old Oaken Bucket."

Next The Charlie McCarthy Show, originally broadcast October 6, 1946, 78 years ago with guest Jack Benny.  Charlie's in love with two girls, twins named Daisy and Maisie. Guest Jack Benny offers Charlie a show of his own. Jack appeared on his own show the same day.  Two shows?  Good thing he’s just 39...

Finally, Superman, originally broadcast October 6, 1941, 83 years ago, Crooked Oil Association. Clark Kent (Bud Collyer) and Jimmy Olsen (Jackie Kelk) fly out West to help Tumbleweed Jones fight a crooked oil protection association.
