This week, we hear the earliest surviving episode of Ed Wynn's Texaco Fire Chief, from July 26, 1932. Not only is it the earliest surviving Wynn show, but it's one of the earliest 10 surviving recordings of network radio. We take a look at the moving story of Wynn's short career in radio, and his legacy in American comedy. Then, it's another happy set from Kay Kyser's orchestra, and episode 21 of the Family Doctor.
