Just what it says, behind the mike

(3 Sterne)

Fascinating if you're into old time radio or just curious about what happened behind the scenes of broadcasting circa 1941. It's sort of a variety show, hosted by Ed Wynn's always-giggling announcer Graham McNamee. They bring on legitimate non-actors (some of them sound truly awful) from all corners of the business, asking scripted questions and performing demonstrations or skits. I haven't listened to every episode yet, but what I've heard is entertaining and informative. An episode title indicates one topic covered in a specific program.

Mostly clean

(4 Sterne)

A weekly entertainment show based in the golden age of radio. I think it’d be nice to see a half/hour weekly comedy/entertainment show these days.
