PS: Red Skelton was a well known comedian, movie and radio actor. I first knew about Red Skelton from his TV show that aired through the 1960’s. He got his start, like many stars of his era, in Vaudeville. His shows were a collection of short sketches, injected with music and monologues. My computer hosts make some good points about advertising and show sponsorship. Most products offered back then are no longer available today, though some of the companies are still around with newer products in their product line ups.
Ads are left in the shows for entertainment purposes, and the usage of them are not necessarily endorsed by the Retro Radio Podcast. Enjoy the show and don’t forget to tell your friends about the podcast.
