What are you listening to?

[Dennis Young]

Hi all! I haven't posted in awhile, but right now I am enjoying listening to a broadcast from 1944 on OTR. I think the air date is December 23rd 1944 and its talking mostly about the news from the front in Europe and Japan.

It's Sunday night at eight, so the Chase & Sanborn Hour is on. It's the broadcast of 9/17/39, and Nelson Eddy, in his thundering light-opera baritone, is giving out with an extraordinary rendition of that legendary opus "Mammy's Little Baby Loves Sho'tnin' Bread." Let's see Tibbett top that.

I'll probably listen to the Shadow tonight. Or maybe Space PAtrol.

10AM on a Monday means Tom Breneman's "Breakfast In Hollywood," a program which was considered, in its time, the worst kind of stupid, pointless trash -- Breneman, a jolly MC type who seems far too fond of his own limp jokes, roams around among the patrons of his Hollywood restaurant and interviews the "ladies having breakfast" for half an hour. For added laughs he tries on their hats, which is hilarious to the live audience, but doesn't do much for we at home.

But listened to as an artifact, this becomes an absolutely fascinating window into the worlds of ordinary people of the Era -- these aren't performers or actors, but real people captured on the air for a few brief moments. The highlight is always when Breneman interviews the oldest person in the audience each day -- this particular broadcast features a ninetysomething woman born during the administration of Millard Fillmore, who tells Breneman she's lived in Southern California since the 1880s, and remembers when she arrived, Los Angeles was "just a dirty little place."
