Classic Radio Theater features great radio programs that warmed the hearts of millions for the better part of the 20th century. Host Wyatt Cox brings the best of radio classics back to life with both the passion of a long-time (as in more than half a century) fan and the heart of a forty-year newsman. But more than just “playing the hits”, Wyatt supplements the first hour of each day’s show with historical information on the day and date in history, including audio that takes you back to World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. FDR, Eisenhower, JFK, Reagan, Carter, Nixon, LBJ. It’s a true slice of life from not just radio’s past, but America’s past.
Wyatt produces 21 hours a week of freshly minted Classic Radio Theater presentations each week, and each day’s broadcast is timely and entertaining!

Classic Radio 10-17-25 - House without a lot, Lums Broke Leg, and who dented the fender

Comedy on a Friday

First, a look at the events of the day.

Then, Amos ‘n’ Andy, originally broadcast October 17, 1948, 77 years ago, House Without a Lot. The Kingfish sells Andy a fine house for only $500, but as usual, there's a catch.

Followed by Lum and Abner, originally broadcast October 17, 1948, 77 years ago, Lum fakes a Broken Leg. Lum has "broken" his leg to avoid Miss Abernathy, which leads to Squire Skimp's Hindu Healer and an insurance doctor who doesn't get the joke.

Then, The Aldrich Family starring Ezra Stone, originally broadcast October 17, 1939, 86 years ago, Barbara and Constance. A poignant story about Henry and two girls, Barbara and Constance. Which one will it be?

Followed by the Burns and Allen Show, originally broadcast October 17, 1944, 81 years ago, George Thinks He Dented The Car Fender. George says "no" to a new hat for Gracie, which leads naturally to a bent fender on the car!

Finally, Claudia, originally broadcast October 17, 1947, 78 years ago, Dinner Plans. Claudia makes plans for dinner. Kathryn Bard and Paul Crabtree star.
