The Good Old Days of Radio Show

Episode 428: Stars in the Afternoon


Listen Later

We have an extended episode of the podcast for you today. It’s a rare, full 90-minute CBS broadcast from October 1945 called Stars in the Afternoon. This previously uncirculated broadcast originally aired live from Carnegie Hall, and was a special, designed as a big promotional preview for CBS’s fall lineup. Produced by Norman Corwin, you'll hear snippets and appearances from popular shows of the day, including The Aldrich Family, Inner Sanctum, We the People, Take It or Leave It, and The Thin Man. It’s a fascinating time capsule from the golden age of radio, and gives a real picture of what radio entertainment sounded like in 1945.
