I was surprised when I first discovered how recently The Stan Freberg Show was on the air. As you say, it’s such a strong exponent of the radio comedy tradition, I expected it to come from the apex period instead of the decline.

Thank you for the OTRCAT.com tip. I’ll be sure to check it out.

Freberg is an all time favorite and references a lot of the great radio comedy in the years just after the golden era of radio (the 20’s - 1959). I get my daily does of Old Time Radio from OTRCAT.com - they have a ‘daily’ which is a broadcast of the same day in years past - quite an interesting ‘blast from the past’.
