Classic Radio for October 20, 2023 - Trading the Maxwell, Freberg ends, and Lum's Course

An hour of Comedy

First, a look at this date in history.

Then The Jack Benny Show, originally broadcast October 20, 1940, 83 years ago, Jack tries to trade in the Maxwell. Jack decides to trade in his 1921 Maxwell on a new Packard (which costs $1450-almost $32000 today!). No deal!

Followed by The Stan Freberg Show, originally broadcast October 20, 1957, 66 years ago, The last show of the series. A reprise of the best skits from the previous fourteen shows.

And Lum and Abner, originally broadcast October 20, 1941, 82 years ago, Getting the answer from the course. A letter arrives on Lum's free Correspondance Course.
