Orson Welles Radio Almanac

Hedda Hopper

English · Radio

Orson Welles Radio Almanac was a variety program hosted by Orson Welles, bringing together conversation, performance, and entertainment in a radio magazine format. This recording is identified with Hedda Hopper, the Hollywood columnist and commentator.

The program’s almanac approach offered a mix of material rather than a single continuing story, with Welles guiding the broadcast and introducing its features. Its appeal lies in hearing a celebrated performer and broadcaster shape a lively, personality-driven program, alongside a guest associated with the world of film and celebrity.
