Vox Pop


(5 stars; 1 reviews)

NPR has said that Vox Pop was the first "Quiz Show" but that was sort of peripheral to the show, which was produced in a different location each week. It billed itself as the "premier audience participation show" and now these short interviews provide a keyhole glimpse into the era in which it was created. You can read more about Vox Pop here: http://www.npr.org/programs/morning/features/patc/quizshow/index.html http://www.lib.umd.edu/LAB/COLLECTIONS/voxpophome.html http://www.digitaldeliftp.com/DigitalDeliToo/dd2jb-Vox-Pop.html also see the WB cartoon parody here: http://archive.org/details/FoxPop ...there was a lot of disc noise so I had to do some noise reduction on the files.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
