My good friend Sid Sharma and I discuss this classic radio show. Although we recorded it during the pandemic, I also want to recognize the Black Lives Matter movement currently happening in the US and beyond our boarders. Sid says it best in this episode, "Fight the good fight!" I support BLM and my friends (and all people) of Color now and forever! More about the show we cover in the podcast: developed at the Blackett, Sample and Hummert advertising agency in Chicago, Captain Midnight began as a syndicated show on October 17, 1938, airing through the spring of 1940 on a few Midwest stations, including Chicago's WGN. In 1940, Ovaltine, a product of The Wander Company, took over sponsorship. With Pierre Andre as announcer, the series was then heard nationally on the Mutual Radio Network where it remained until 1942. It moved to the Merchandise Mart and the NBC Blue Network in September 1942. When the U.S. Government broke up the NBC Red and Blue Networks, Ovaltine moved the series back to Mutual, beginning September 1945, where it remained until December 1949.
