Subject: Greatest Comedy Team in Radio
Better timing than Benny, and funnier than Hope, I have always maintained Jim and Marion Jordan could have gone on to become even bigger than Burns and Allen if not for Marion's poor health.

Marion Jordan died in 1961, and Jim hardly performed much after that. Had she been healthier, and had they not taken the bad advice of "milking radio for all it's worth" as television started catching fire, I am certain they would have gone on to greater things, but as fate would have it we only have these wonderful radio shows left of what I believe top be one of the greatest husband and wife comedy teams of all time, not just radio.

And thank you Johnson's wax for having enough foresight to record and preserve these shows for posterity! They truly are the gold of Radio's Golden Age.

Subject: Fibber McGee and America during WWII
As has been noted about Fred Allen, the Fibber McGee Program is another wonderful window into America during WWII. The program often centered on the common problems of the common man of the day, including gas rationing, black market meat, buying bonds, etc. Fibber was a great Everyman, and was often cast on the wrong track regarding rationing and other things, and was set straight by other cast members.
