Composed of comedians Bob Elliott (1923–2016) and Ray Goulding (1922–1990), the duo's format was typically to satirize the medium in which they were performing, such as conducting radio or television interviews, with off-the-wall dialogue presented in a generally deadpan style as though it were a serious broadcast.

Karl Haas was a distinguished classical music performer and exegetist—a presenter, interpreter, and explainer—who for decades originated a widely-syndicated and highly successful radio program on the subject of classical music.

Dr. Haas began his broadcasting career in 1950 by hosting a weekly preview of Detroit Symphony Orchestra concerts on radio station WWJ in Detroit. He first attracted attention as a performing musician when the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation asked him to play piano and conduct a chamber orchestra for a radio program. For them he performed a weekly piano recital with commentary in French on Quebec radio. The CBC encouraged him to talk about the music he was playing during the broadcast and gradually he complied.

October 20, 1957 CBS Radio Episode 15 Final Show.  The Stan Freberg Show would prove to be enduring and wide-reaching. The program lasted just 15 episodes that reached over six million radio listeners, but was doomed when it failed to attract a sponsor. During this time, there weren’t really blocks of commercials as there are now: you would have one sponsor who would present the entire program. That’s all well and good if you’re super-popular like Jack Benny, but Freberg prided himself on being sardonic and mischievous. In other words, dangerous to attach your brand to.
