Episode 512: It Pays To Be Ignorant

from The Good Old Days of Radio Show · host John Tefteller

We've got another round of ridiculous comedy with a 1945 Armed Forces Radio Service broadcast of It Pays to Be Ignorant. Host Tom Howard and his panel of "experts", including Lulu McConnell and Harry McNaughton, take the stupid questions and from there pure chaos ensues. The puns come fast, and nobody is interested in getting the right answer. Originally distributed to American servicemen near the end of World War II, this episode also includes a few interactions with military guests. This comes straight from an original transcription disc, preserving the outstanding sound quality of this delightfully zany radio classic. If you're in the mood for pure, carefree nonsense, this one's hard to beat.
