Have you heard of the This Day in Jack Benny podcast? It’s hosted by John Henderson.

Like myself, John discovered the Golden Age of Radio as a child and like millions of Americans, John has found The Jack Benny Program to be amongst the most well-written and timeless of shows from that era.

Each week on This Day in Jack Benny, John posts a Jack Benny radio show episode from the past, usually with a bit of background information on what was happening on the show, or what was happening in the United States at the time.

This Day in Jack Benny is available on all of the major podcast outlets you’re familiar with like iTunes, Stitcher, Podbean, and Libsyn, and Player FM. John’s main site is https://thisdaybenny.com/.

Today we’ll be playing “Kids Impersonate Jack Benny.” This episode of John’s podcast originally aired on August 14th, 2019. The Jack Benny Program episode is from February 22nd, 1953, and it re-uses a script originally written for the April 23rd, 1950 episode.

So sit back, grab a bowl of Jell-O, or pour yourself a bowl of Grape Nuts Flakes. If you’re a rebel I guess you can also light up a Lucky Strike, though myself and modern health studies don’t recommend it.
