Hello Americans with President Vargas' Birthday. This episode aired April 18, 1942.

**NOTE: The recording is scratchy with poor quality, but you can still listen.**

Hello Americans aired from 1942 to 1943 on CBS Radio. It was directed and produced by Orson Welles. Created to promote inter-American understanding and friendship during World War II, the series aired Sundays at 8 p.m. ET beginning November 15, 1942. Its last broadcast was January 31, 1943. The series featured many of the actors from Welles' Mercury Theatre group.

Getúlio Dornelles Vargas, nicknamed "the Father of the Poor," was a Brazilian lawyer and politician who served as the 14th and 17th president of Brazil, from 1930 to 1945 and from 1951 to 1954.
