Aladdin Lamp - Single Episodes


(4.8 stars; 4 reviews)

Aladdin Lamp is a fascinating radio series that emerged in the early 1930s, promoted by the charismatic Smilin' Ed McConnell. Known as 'The Aladdin Lamp Man', he captivated audiences over WLW in Cincinnati, Ohio, with his engaging stories, songs, and humor while selling Aladdin Kerosene Lamps.

By 1948, his 15-minute programs were being broadcast on 145 ABC stations, showcasing his unique style and charm. The series likely originated after this time, as Ed's personable approach resonated with millions of housewives, making them feel that a home without an Aladdin lamp was incomplete.
