Oddities and Strange stories that had been researched and are dramatized... this was what they called a "Filler" when a station had a 15 minute block of time that they needed to fill... syndicated shows like this were what they used. Often there were long musical breaks so a radio announcer could hawk something or tell about an event coming up at the station. I edited out most of the long music in this broadcast.... Some interesting stories here. This will be in the "Can You Imagine That" Playlist on this Soundcloud.com Podcast

Also known as "Superstition on the Air" the program from 1935 consisted of a series of short stories that, based on meticulous research, explained the origins of many of the popular superstitions of modern life in the 1930's. The interesting thing is that many of these superstitions are still with us 92 years later! Audio Intro gives history of the program and introduces our two segments edited back to back... The Wish Bone and No News is Good News. The two segments are separated by a recreation of an actual commercial from the 1930's on a hypnotizing device!

Audio Intro has concept of the show and the playlist of 4 songs in this broadcast that was "rebroadcast" by the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service in 1960. Virginia and Andy Mansfield play a contemporary song and then the original version of the same song which may have been recorded 15 to 33 years prior to 1960. Interesting to hear the differences in style for the same song. Playlist is "Turn Back the Clock"
