America Looks Abroad


(5 stars; 2 reviews)

America Looks Abroad was a 15-minute news and commentary show produced by the nonpartisan American Foreign Policy Association (FPA.org) and broadcast on NBC. ...sounds boring but this show aired 1939 through May of 1941 (according to Otrpedia), which was when the USA was grappling with neutrality, lend lease etc. so.... Hindsight is 20/20.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
