The Good Old Days of Radio Show

We have briefly mentioned the wonderful crossover of radio voices and classic cartoons. But today we are beginning an in-depth series laser-focused on the iconic voices of cartoons from the golden age, with expert researcher Keith Scott. Keith has brought along a series of radio shows that particularly highlight cartoon voices. We're beginning today with a show that is no stranger to the podcast, "The Stan Freberg Show."
