When Radio Ruled #137 – Fred Allen’s People You Didn’t Expect to Meet 1939


Listen Later

Fred Allen and the people you didn’t expect to meet 1939.

Fred Allen was famously a control freak on his radio shows. Although he used a staff of writers, it was just to generate ideas and jokes that would be incorporated into the final script that Fred always wrote personally.

Each minute of those shows were a reflection of Fred, including his frequent on air conversations from many folks from many walks of life.

I, personally, am grateful to Fred for helping me to appreciate the lives lived by folks in that past by allowing those folks to tell their own stories.

I think you will also enjoy those  real life stories.
