About this listen

 This episode of Bob Hope's classic NBC radio show originally aired on March 3, 1942.

PLEASE NOTE: The audio is a bit scratchy at the beginning, but improves quickly. It's certainly worth it for a rare appearance by Babe Ruth!

Bob Hope made his radio debut on NBC in May 1937. He became a top-rated fixture on Tuesday nights with his theme song, "Thanks for the Memories". His legendary broadcasts from military bases around the world helped boost American morale during the dark days of World War II. Over the years, his radio regulars included Jerry Colonna, Brenda and Cobina, Vera Vague, Wendall Niles, and orchestras led by Skinnay Ennis and Les Brown. Featured singers on the show included Judy Garland, Frances Langford, Doris Day, and Gloria Jean.

Hope's radio career lasted well into the mid-1950s. By then, he had become a major movie and television star. He died on July 29, 2003, at the age of 100.

Pretty bad radio broadcast

Pretty unintelligible but if you have very good hearing and lots of patience, you may have a better experience.
