Unlike theater drama which required scenery to stage the settings of a play. Radio drama relied only on the imagination of the listener to interpret the scene. But without the right kind of writer the whole thing could fall flat on it’s face. It required a blend of words and music coupled with each listener’s imagination to make the whole thing work successfully. New techniques were required to combine all of these things in order that the listener could live within the story which was being told. Neither did it go unnoticed that at the same time as achieving all this, it was essential that the broadcasting company’s moral obligations to the listening public were not compromised.

My Friend Irma continues to be the most popular request. One of radio’s funniest comedies, it starred Marie Wilson, Diana Lynn, John Lund and a host of radio and TV greats. Most notably, it was the kick off for two of comedy’s greats, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. My Friend Irma, and it’s popularity and wacky ensemble of misfits, allowed it to go on to two movies, comic books and a huge TV success. There is a laugh every 4.5 seconds. IRMA:... when I was at the bank, I asked them to change my two thousand dollars for English money. They said they would give me 800 pounds. JANE: Well, what did you do? IRMA: They couldn't fool me. I put it on the scale...800 pounds? It hardly weighed four ounces.
Roy Rogers was one of America’s greatest heros. A old-fashioned cowboy in a modern world, Roy was the hero of every young boy. along with his wife and singing partner, Dale, and their pal, Pat Brady, they always manage to get their man. But, what do they do when the villain is not human? Join us and find out in Roy Rogers: The Missing Atomic Scientist.
