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.
