Bring On the Whiz Bang
from Robbinsdale Revisited Hosted by robbinsdalehistoricalsociety
Episode 3: The 1920s brought big changes to Robbinsdale. Women bobbed their hair and shortened their skirts. Whiz Bang magazine was started by Captain Billy shortly after he got out of the army. It was full of jokes for sailors and soldiers. It made no pretenses at being ‘literary’, but it tried hard to “give the boys a kick in every line.” The magazine defined the fun of the era and launched a publishing empire.
