How To

Frank Slabinak — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 16:35:56 GMT

No Program Title
November 8, 1951 - CBS
An unedited recording of an audience participation show where the panel members "answers questions about everything." The first audience member is a Hollywood dentist who wants to know how to get his patients not to fear him. Linkletter plugs his own show five times and twice tells jokes that he predicts "will be deleted from the tape." It's not a very funny show, the series failed in two months. Roger Price (host), Art Linkletter (panelist), Huntz Hall (panelist), Anita Martell (panelist), Bob Lemond (announcer).

The Man on The Farm

Frank Slabinak — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 18:23:36 GMT

Program 288
August 9, 1947
"The Man on the Farm," sponsored by the Quaker Oats Company on behalf of its Ful-O-Pep line of animal feeds, began as a syndicated weekly feature in about 1942 and ran for well over a decade -- eventually making its way to the full Mutual Network in the early 1950s. Recorded at the Quaker Oats Experimental Farm near Libertyville, Illinois and hosted by a genial Oklahoman named Chuck Akery, the program offered a lighthearted Saturday afternoon combination of audience participation show features like those heard regularly on "The Breakfast Club" and "Welcome Travelers." A small studio audience, consisting mostly of indomitable farm wives, were regularly asked to answer questions sent in by listeners as Akery moved through the crowd with a portable microphone -- perhaps winning a pound of feed or two for their trouble. Reggie Cross on the harmonica and legendary Hammond Organist Porter Heaps would perform musical duets, while Ful-O-Pep advised listeners on new ways to increase egg production and issued a weekly blue ribbon award to an outstanding farm or dairy. The show usually closed with an amusing contest, in which participants could win $1.00 to $5.00 just for coming before the microphone.
If you grew up in a small town, were raised on a farm, or ever belonged to a Grange organization, you'll find "The Man on the Farm" a familiar and entertaining time capsule of rural life in the early postwar years. It's also a reminder that radio, in its hey-day, was far more diverse than just the big-time network shows we remember today would lead us to believe. Is it corny? Maybe -- but down-to-earth and a great deal of fun, too.
