  • Ports of Call: Legend of Maui in New Zealand

    Ports of Call: Legend of Maui in New Zealand
    2026/07/13
    This episode of Old Time Radio Snack Wagon revisits a charming story from the 1930s inspired by Māui, the legendary Polynesian demigod whose adventures appear in the oral traditions of New Zealand, Hawaiʻi, Samoa, Tonga, and other Pacific cultures.

    Adapted from the travel series Ports of Call, the broadcast tells one of Māui’s best-known exploits: the tale of how the North Island of New Zealand was pulled from the sea. Blending folklore with the travelogue style popular during radio’s early years, the program introduces listeners to Māori tradition through a lively dramatization of Māui’s wit, confidence, and extraordinary feats. While versions of the legend differ across Polynesian cultures, the story remains one of the region’s most enduring and beloved myths.

    As modern audiences rediscover Māui through contemporary film and popular culture, this broadcast offers a fascinating glimpse at how American radio introduced listeners to Polynesian storytelling nearly a century ago.

  • Voice of the Army: Independence Day

    Voice of the Army: Independence Day
    2026/07/06
    Aired: 1945 (Voice of the Army)

    This Independence Day episode of Voice of the Army reflects on the enduring meaning of the Declaration of Independence by connecting the American Revolution with the sacrifices of those serving during World War II. Framed as a conversation between a wounded veteran and his young son, the program weaves together scenes from 1776 with memories of a more recent conflict, exploring how each generation has been called upon to preserve the ideals of liberty. Through dramatizations of the signing of the Declaration, the campaigns of George Washington, and the struggles of the Continental Army, the broadcast traces the birth of the United States while highlighting the responsibilities that accompany freedom.

    The story moves seamlessly between the nation's founding and the challenges of the twentieth century, emphasizing the continuity of the American experience across nearly two centuries. Originally broadcast in 1945, as World War II drew to a close, this thoughtful dramatization serves as both a celebration of Independence Day and a tribute to those who defended the principles first proclaimed in Philadelphia in 1776.
