Episode #339: Thanksgiving 1945: The Charlie McCarthy Show

Happy Thanksgiving! We are celebrating with a program that is a little lighter than last year's offering. It's a Thanksgiving program from Edgar Bergen, 1945. Edgar Bergen was radio's ventriloquist, and his lead act was the puppet Charlie McCarthy. This was before ventriloquist dummies became the subject of horror movies. The guest in this show is 7-year-old Margaret O'Brien, and they do a very silly retelling of The Courtship of Miles Standish. Gather your kids and your parents. This one's a great one for just about everyone.
