The Lucky Strike Program Starring Jack Benny! The March 4, 1934 Episode of Jack Benny sounds like they are doing the show under water. They aren't, it's just really old. I open this podcast with a couple clips, then switch to the March 4, 1951 episode. Jack goes to the Dentist.

Old Time Radio (OTR)

February 24, 1946 - The Jack Benny Program from Palm Springs. The Hot Dog Man (who would later be called Mr.Kitzel) is featured as Jack and Mary roam the streets before showing up late for their own show. Phil Harris has got it coved. :)

Jack has a bone to pick with Esquire magazine. Listen to my intro to see what else was featured in that issue from 1946.

Seabiscuit was a popular race horse in the 1930's and 1940's. In this episode we feature the actual horse race from 1937, the day before this episode of the Jack Benny Show. Plus Jack's excuses are up, will be play "the Bee" on his violin? What about Fred Allen?

February 17, 1946 - This episode of the Lucky Strike Program starring Jack Benny is titled "Rochester Lost at Sea...Briefly" and he really was. The story of Rochester is really an aside. Listen also for a clip from Fred Allen's new movie. And by NEW I mean 1945. Old Time Radio (OTR)

February 16, 1936 & April 19, 1936 - The Jello Program starring Jack Benny. This old Time Radio episode is REALLY old, 80 years ago. Many of the recording from that year have been lost to history. Only about 10 minutes of the episode "Drug Store" has survived. The same is true for the episode "I've Got a Heavy Date" two month later.

The two episodes have been seamlessly edited together to create one full episode (although this is still a bit of skipping). It's still a funny OTR episode.

February 14, 1954 - It's Valentine's Day, which is also Jacks birthday. This is one of the more famous episode of the Jack Benny Program. This Day in Jack Benny 62 year ago today.

February 7, 1937 - An episode of the Jello Program starring Jack Benny. Will Jack ever play "The Bee" on his violin? Last week he was sick and rival Fred Allen is taunting him.

February 10, 1946 - Eddie Cator was a singer of outrageous novelty songs in the 1920s, like "Yes! We have no Bananas" and "If You Knew Susie". He was the guest star This Day in Jack Benny in 1946 on the Lucky Strike Program.

February 6, 1938 - This is an episode of the Jello Program starring Jack Benny in which they mix up the format. Jack is late, and hilarity ensues! Another great episode from the greatest OTR (old time radio) show.

February 12, 1939 - Download this episode and listen to in on February 12 for maximum enjoyment!
