This week, we win OTR collector's Bingo! Three shows all dated Tuesday, April 12, 1932. Here's what was on the radio on that evening, according to actual newspaper radio pages: 6:00 p.m., The Family Doctor (This one's a guess); 6:30 p.m., Omar, Wizard of Persia; 6:45 p.m., Joe Palooka; 8:00 p.m., Chandu, The Magician. This presentation of Omar is especially noteworthy: It is the first time a collector has established a date for the Omar serials, as well as a precise time of day for broadcast. Historic radio, reconstructed from schedules of the day... on Radio Journeys.
