 From Those Were The Days

3/12

1933   Eight days after he was inaugurated, [removed] President Franklin
Delano Roosevelt presented his first presidential address to the nation.
It was the first of what were called Roosevelt's famous Fireside Chats.
The name, incidentally, was coined by newsman, Robert Trout. He thought
that the President sounded as if he was sitting with us in living rooms
all over the nation next to a roaring fire, just telling it like it was.

3/13

1923   A great improvement in radio receivers was advertised. The new
models had a concealed speaker and eliminated the need for headphones,
which were considered a nuisance because they were so heavy to wear and
messed up hairdos. The new radios were also said to have a 'foolproof'
design.

3/14

1937   Fred Allen and Jack Benny met in one of the biggest publicity
gags ever. It was called, "The Battle of the Century."  The two
comedians locked horns in the ballroom of the Hotel Pierre, exchanging
torrid insults that were heard by the second largest audience in the
history of radio.

3/17

1933   Comedian Phil Baker was heard on network radio for the first time
on a regular basis when The Armour Jester was heard on the Blue network.
Baker rapidly rose to the top of the radio ratings.

I am age 72 now and retiring as a teacher soon.  I remember OTR as a young
child and teenager.  I started to collect OTR but then evolved to buying
collections of OTR.  I am working in very remote fly-in areas in the  High
Arctic of Canada.  I often listen to OTR as I try to fall asleep.

One can find that show, plus tens of thousands of others, at the remarkable
[removed]  Go to "series" there, then down to "The Shadow."  The
episode in question is dated October 25, 1942.
