Comedy Broadcasts

This episode explores the behind-the-scenes workings of radio comedy, including an impersonation of Fred Allen and a demonstration of sound effects like a toboggan sled. NBC's creation of the singing group The Singing Powers Models is featured, along with B. A. Rolfe's anecdote about when his band was visited by Walter Damrosch (also impersonated), and Louis Katzman recreates a war-related program that ran from 1926 to 1930. The episode concludes with Tom Powers sharing memories from his former program "Life Studies" and includes a tribute to Whittall's Anglo-Persians.
