Behind the Mike was a captivating radio show that provided listeners with an exclusive behind-the-scenes view of radio, featuring interviews with well-known personalities, technicians, producers, sound effect artists, musicians, and various other individuals involved in radio production. The show was designed to offer listeners greater insight into their favorite radio personalities, programs, and the people who contributed to the creation of these programs. Radio broadcasting legend Graham McNamee hosted Behind the Mike, allowing listeners to learn the answers to listener-submitted questions about radio production, such as differences between recordings and transcriptions, or information about the first ventriloquist on air.</p><p>The show aired on the Blue Network (NBC) from September 15, 1940, to April 19, 1942. During its run, Behind the Mike had 79 episodes, of which only 32 are known to still exist today. After McNamee's death on May 9, 1942, the show's name was changed to "This is the Truth" and later to "Nothing But the Truth," airing under these titles until June 7, 1942. CBS Radio had previously run another program with the title "Behind the Mike" during the 1931-32 season. The series was sustained and aired Sundays at 4:30 p.m. ET.
