About this listen
"Hen-reeeeeeeee! Henry Aldrich!"
"Coming, Mother!"
Yes, here comes radio's favorite teenager, stumbling and bumbling his way through 16 classic episodes. Ezra Stone stars as Henry Aldrich, a likeable sort of kid who managed to turn everything he touched into catastrophe. With a constantly cracking voice, and a head full of absurdities, he confronts the awkwardness of adolescence…with hilarious results.
Henry's mother (Katharine Raht) keeps him well taken care of; his father (House Jameson) keeps him on the straight-and-narrow; and his buddy Homer Brown (Jackie Kelk) keeps him on his toes! Come and listen in on a perfect slice of mid-20th-century small-town Americana with one of medium's most beloved and enduring family situation comedies.

Fred Allen specialized in literate wordplay, lacerating satire, and a squinty-eyed critique of the passing scene. His style was entirely his own: the slate-pencil whine of his voice, the ludicrously-named supporting characters, and the small-town-cum-big-city rattle of his dialogue. Join him in a promenade through parody, along with co-stars Portland Hoffa, Alan Reed, Kenny Delmar, Minerva Pious, John Brown, Charlie Cantor, and Parker Fennelly. Even Fred’s guest stars jump into the jest!

Story
Ziwe made a name for herself by asking guests like Alyssa Milano, Fran Lebowitz, and Chet Hanks direct questions. In Black Friend, she turns her incisive perspective on both herself and the culture at large. Throughout the book, Ziwe combines pop-culture commentary and personal stories that grapple with her own (mis)understanding of identity. From a hilarious case of mistaken identity via a jumbotron to a terrifying fight-or-flight encounter in the woods, Ziwe raises difficult questions for comedic relief.

Great!
This particular collection of shows are excellent, because they are with the original Henry and Homer, Ezra Stone and Jackie Kelk. The original characters are the best! Thank you so much. Very entertaining!
