"Vic and Sade" was an American radio program created and written by Paul Rhymer that first aired in 1932 and continued, intermittently, until 1946. The show followed the lives of Victor Rodney Gook, his wife Sade, and their adopted son Rush, as they navigated daily life in a small Midwestern town. Often considered a classic of old-time radio, the program was characterized by its wit and warm portrayal of American life. The show's innovative format included 15-minute episodes without a continuing storyline, focusing on the interactions of its core ensemble. "Vic and Sade" was adapted twice for television, first in 1949 and again in 1957.
- Vox Pop [vox-pop]
Vox Pop, also known as Sidewalk Interviews and Voice of the People, was an engaging and entertaining radio show featuring interviews, quizzes, and human-interest stories with everyday citizens across the US and abroad. Launched in 1932 on KTRH in Houston by Parks Johnson and Jerry Belcher, the program focused on spontaneous conversations and opinions on various topics. The show became part of the NBC lineup in 1935 and moved to CBS in 1939. It underwent several changes in co-hosts, with Wally Butterworth, Neil O'Malley, and Warren Hull replacing Belcher over the years. Vox Pop came to an end on ABC in 1947-48. Throughout its run, Johnson and his co-hosts visited 41 states and six foreign countries, capturing the unique voices of the people.
- We Came This Way [we-came-this-way]
We Came This Way was a series of docudramas produced as part of NBC University of The Air, which aired educational programs between 1942 and 1948. The show focused on the development of American culture, values, legal systems, and ideals from the earliest origins in the Magna Carta to modern times. Events and stories covered included Joan of Arc, Valley Forge, the French Revolution, and Walt Whitman.
Produced during World War II, in 1944, the show was more educational than propagandist, illustrating the struggle for freedom and democracy throughout history. The series was highly regarded for its thought-provoking content, high production standards, and the involvement of radio and film stars like Dana Andrews. We Came This Way is still appreciated by students of history and fans of radio drama today.
- Whitehall 1212 [whitehall-1212]
Whitehall 1212 was a weekly crime drama radio show that aired in the United States from November 18, 1951 to September 28, 1952. Named after the famous telephone number of Scotland Yard, it presented true and "baffling" cases told from the perspective of the police involved in solving them. Writer-Director Wyllis Cooper, along with Chief Crime Reporter Percy Hoskins, meticulously researched the cases that were based on actual artifacts from the Yard's "Black Museum." The show featured an all-British cast, giving it an air of authenticity.
Hosted by the fictitious Chief Superintendent John Davison, the show was known for its well-presented and compelling storytelling. Whitehall 1212 was produced by NBC and ran parallel to another crime show, The Black Museum, which presented stories in a more dramatized manner. Cooper's work in Whitehall 1212, while limited by its factual basis, continued his legacy from previous shows like Quiet Please and Lights Out.
