What Is A New Years Resolution

At the start of the show, they ask: "What is a New Year's Resolution?" Then during the program itself, the first real question comes up: "How long does it take a ship to finish a five-day trip?" The first person to play is Frank Leonard, who goes by the wrestling name Man Mountain Dean. It's pretty cool that he also served as an army sergeant for thirty-seven years! This episode might be AFRS number 80, and it probably aired on either October 26, 1945 or October 29, 1945.

It Pays to Be Ignorant is a 1942–1951 radio comedy show which maintained its popularity during a nine-year run on three networks for such sponsors as Philip Morris, Chrysler, and DeSoto. The series was a spoof on the academic discourse on such authoritative panel series as Quiz Kids and Information Please. At the same time, the beginning of the program parodied the popular quiz show Doctor I.Q. The show featured announcers Ken Roberts and Dick Stark. The program was broadcast on Mutual from June 25, 1942 to February 28, 1944, on CBS from February 25, 1944 to September 27, 1950 and finally on NBC from July 4, 1951 to September 26, 1951. The series typically aired as a summer replacement.
