Just in time for Halloween... We bring you... The Witch's Tale... from July 25, 1932. We meet Old Nancy the Witch for a tale of revenge, ghosts with severed heads, and pranks gone very wrong... It's "Rockabye Baby." Halloween... as it was heard in 1932. But before that, we feature the final circulated episode of Anne of the Airlanes, plus another cheerful quarter-hour with Kay Kyser's band.

Radio Journeys is the only OTR program anywhere that is dedicated entirely to the earliest days of radio--the 1920s and early 1930s. Each week, we reconstruct a full hour of programming from that time pieced together from surviving recordings, and in chronological order. We follow the early 30's serials in order and in their entirety. This week, the second of eight episodes of Kay Kyser and his orchestra from 1932 or 1934. And, another Redbook Magazine Drama, The Family Doctor, and Ann of the Airlanes. The early 30's just keep rollin' along, on Radio Journeys.
