Listen Later

This Saturday on Vintage Classic Radio’s "Saturday Matinee", we start with the beloved "Our Miss Brooks" in the episode titled "Workhorse".

Originally aired on November 7, 1948, the episode features the ever-humorous struggles of high school English teacher Connie Brooks as she juggles excessive workloads and the demands of her quirky colleagues and students at Madison High. The stellar cast includes Eve Arden as Miss Brooks, Gale Gordon as Principal Osgood Conklin, Richard Crenna as student Walter Denton, Jane Morgan as Mrs. Davis, and Jeff Chandler as biology teacher Mr. Boynton.

Following is "The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show" with the episode "How Long Genius Phil Goes Undiscovered", first broadcast on November 6, 1953. In this hilarious installment, Phil Harris worries about his unrecognized talents and contemplates a career that might better suit his self-declared genius, causing a typical uproar in his household. The episode features Phil Harris as himself, Alice Faye as his sensible and patient wife, with additional support from Elliott Lewis as Frankie Remley, Walter Tetley as Julius Abruzzio, and Robert North as Willie.

We wrap up with a musical treat from the "Benny Goodman" concert in the episode titled "Madhattan Room". Dating back to November 6, 1937, this performance captures Goodman at the height of his popularity during the swing era, playing at the famous Madhattan Room in New York City. Benny Goodman leads the ensemble with his clarinet, and the show features vocal performances alongside classic instrumental numbers, providing listeners with a taste of a live 1930s big band jazz concert.

Join us for this trio of classic entertainment that promises to bring laughter, nostalgia, and the unbeatable charm of early radio and music legends.
