Radio Daze: Some Fibber McGee & Molly For Your Old Radio Listening Pleasure!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another episode of Radio Daze! This week’s episode focuses on Jim and Marian Jordan, better known as Fibber McGee & Molly. This real life married couple premiered way back in 1935 and ran for over two decades until 1956. Fibber was the fast talking -get-rich-quick-idea man while Molly McGee was the long suffering but always supportive wife. Known as much for its rogue’s gallery of supporting characters as much as the title couple, Fibber McGee & Molly served as one of the most popular radio comedies of all time. In fact, it was one of the first to feature its own successful spinoff, The Great Gildersleeve, which premiered in 1941 and ran for almost 15 years on its own. So enjoy the classic wordplay and crazy characters of Fibber McGee & Molly. It’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face! So Sayeth The Kendog!
The Dogcast: It’s Old Radio Time Again, This Time With Phil Harris And Alice Faye!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with some more old radio fun! This time I’m featuring a couple of classic programs from The Phil Harris/Alice Faye show from October of 1948! Phil Harris was best known in those days as Jack Benny’s boozing band leader and he became so popular that he was gifted his own show in 1946! He starred with his wife, famous Hollywood actress Alice Faye and the show was a fictionalized version of their lives. Like Jack Benny, Phil Harris surrounded himself with some top tier acting talent with the standouts being Elliot Lewis as best friend Frankie Remly and Walter Tetley as the sarcastic grocery boy Julius. Listen for Gale Gordon in a couple of supporting roles as well. The Phil Harris/Alice Faye show doesn’t quite reach the heights of the Jack Benny program, but’s it’s still damn good! Enjoy! So Sayeth The Kendog!
The Dogcast: The Shadow Knows! Some Lamont Cranston and Margo Lane for your Old Radio Pleasure!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another Old Radio edition of The Dogcast. In honor of “The Marvels” releasing today, I have for your listening pleasure three episodes of the classic old radio series “The Shadow.” These episodes are from the premier season in 1937 featuring none other than the legendary Orson Welles as the voice of the Shadow, the man who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men. Delightfully campy with a solid score and some spooky stories, “The Shadow” is as close to an Old Radio superhero as you’re going to get! So Sayeth The Kendog!
