    Little Old Hollywood: St. Patrick's Day
    2026/03/16
    Show Notes Aired: March 11, 1940

    This St. Patrick’s Day–themed episode comes from the early Hollywood radio program Little Old Hollywood, hosted by actor and announcer Ben Alexander. Broadcasting several days before the holiday, the program celebrates Irish heritage in the film industry with music, humor, and conversation.

    Guest Priscilla Lane joins the festivities, playfully embracing her Irish roots while sharing stories about the many actors, musicians, and filmmakers of Irish descent working in Hollywood at the time. The broadcast also features appearances by longtime Hollywood restaurateur Al Levy, along with musical performances of beloved Irish songs that would have been familiar to audiences of the era.

    Blending lighthearted conversation with period music and studio anecdotes, the program offers a charming snapshot of how Hollywood—and radio—celebrated St. Patrick’s Day during the Golden Age of broadcasting. Subscribe to the Old Time Radio Snack Wagon at https://www.snackwagon.net

  • Soldiers of The Press: Joan Younger - The Return Of The Soldier

    Soldiers of The Press: Joan Younger - The Return Of The Soldier
    2026/03/09
    Aired: September 17, 1944

    This episode of Soldiers of the Press presents “The Return of the Soldier,” a powerful dramatization inspired by reporting from United Press correspondent Joan Younger. Rather than focusing on battlefield exploits, the story turns to a different kind of struggle—the moment when wounded servicemen must confront their greatest challenge: returning home and facing the people who love them.

    Set at a military hospital at Mitchell Field in New York, the program follows a reporter’s visit among recovering soldiers as they wrestle with fear, pride, and uncertainty about what lies ahead. Through quiet conversations and deeply personal moments, the broadcast explores the emotional side of recovery and the courage required to begin life again after war.

    Produced during the World War II years, Soldiers of the Press highlighted the work of United Press correspondents and the human stories behind the headlines. This episode stands out for its compassionate focus on the unseen battles fought far from the front lines.

  • Passing Parade: Special Defense Program Broadcast

    Passing Parade: Special Defense Program Broadcast
    2026/03/02

    This episode features a rare and powerful recording from John Nesbitt’s Passing Parade—a special defense-themed program created in the tense months before America’s entry into World War II.

    Unlike his regular sponsored broadcasts, this installment was produced as a voluntary contribution, intended to stir public awareness and engagement in national defense. Through three vivid true stories—a Hollywood prop man’s unexpected military innovation, a Chicago laborer’s quiet patriotism, and a haunting image from Dunkirk—Nesbitt builds a layered argument about preparedness, responsibility, and the human cost of delay.

    The final segment shifts from storytelling to purpose, as Nesbitt outlines his belief in radio’s unique ability to reach not just the mind, but the emotions of a nation. Part narrative craft, part historical document, this broadcast captures a moment when entertainment, persuasion, and patriotism converged on the airwaves.
