CBS World News Today
The Goldbergs
by
CBS World News Today presents a radio news broadcast from June 7, 1944. The title also identifies this recording with The Goldbergs, the long-running radio comedy centered on the Goldberg family and their everyday life in a close-knit New York neighborhood.
The program offers a glimpse of wartime radio, where news and entertainment shared the airwaves. The Goldbergs was known for its domestic comedy and for Molly Goldberg, the warm, energetic matriarch whose concern for family and neighbors shaped the show’s stories.
Its appeal lies in the contrast between the urgent public events of the era and the familiar, affectionate humor of family life. The recording brings together a specific moment in radio history and a beloved fictional household, offering listeners both period atmosphere and the intimate rhythms of a neighborhood comedy.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
