Radio Journeys 56 ... The Serials of 1932

Yes, Radio Journeys is back after a brief vacation. We were delayed by technical issues at Libsyn, too. But here we are, and it's good to be back.

We're continuing through the serials of 1932--basically the only surviving relics from that year in radio. We hear Si and Elmer, episode 5 of "The Lost Baby and Dog" mystery; episode 12 of The Family Doctor; episode 21 of Ann of the Airlanes; and an episode of Chandu the Magician originally broadcast on WOR on May 31, 1932. And, a special treat: We take another look at what was on the radio, straight from the newspaper radio page of May 31, 1932. We discover that among the shows heard on that date was "The Happiness Boys," aka Billy Jones and Ernie Hare (photo at right).
