You can find some of the radio episodes of "Quiet, Please!" on YT, too.

That's when the programming was good, and you didn't have to worry about questionable content.

True -- but I never worry -- I know how to turn things off, or switch stations, or ban stations.

I so all my radio on Accuradio now -- I have full control over what I hear -- I can ban songs or even entire artists; my fave is blending different stations together to make my own custom mixes -- hm, I should go see if they have the old-time radio shows or content - they do have some in Comedy (1950s & 1960s), as well as on the Novelty Records channel -- I've blended these two together for a grand mix of old-time background radio when I'm in the mood for such.

I don't find commercial radio any good any more -- too many ads & too much DJ yapping. But Accuradio fulfills my desire for background entertainment (music
&/orcomedy, usually both mixed in together)

I listen to my fave music era: 1964-1984 in one big mixed channel. Including 1970s' country (when it was still country,& not just rockabilly)

I've downloaded, from the original oldtimeradio site I discovered last millennium, a bunch of MP3s. including the Bickersons & a few of other shows, like some of Abbott & Costello's routines (I had no idea they had done a series on the "Who's on First?" type of punnistry.)

It's funny to hear some of those old cigarette ads (now banned on radio) & how hokey they were (obviously they worked, though); none so dangerous as the Coca Cola print ads saying Coke is healthy for new-born babies! (I have some of those saved somewhere)

TRthis, to me, is far more objectionable than "bad" words. . . (I deny the concept that words can be bad. I agree there is bad usage (grammatical and contextual) and bad intent behinf d their use, but in that later, nothing is beter -- as the euphemisms soon become just as bad as the original (think of all the words for African-Americans you know have been used over the past century --several suggested alternatives to the N-word, that quickly became slurs on theirt own & new euphemisms were desired & now we have a plethora of words and aren't allowed to use any of them, or anything that remotely sounds lie them (One city councillor in Florida lost his job & his future options at a career in public services simply for trying to advocate for more funds to help the inner city African-American youth in his city, by saying, "We should not be niggardly in our response to the need."; that word has zero connection to the word that is now considered absolute taboo for whites to use.

As one comic put it, "We can't say the N-word because last time we had the ability, we didn't do such a great job of it."

Works for me. But I'm with whoever said that by saying "the N-word"(that phrase, not the forbidden word) the speaker is just implanting the actual taboo word into our minds!

I'd have preferred that Huckleberry Finn was left uncensored, as it's a great teaching moment:

"Mommy, what's n*gger mean?" & Mommy gets the oh-so-delightful job, handed to her by her preceding generations, of explaining to little Johnnie, or Janie, that it was a word people used for many years to hurt certain people just because their ancestors were born closer to the equator than those from European ancestry.

Then when sad parent gets a call from school because her child used said word in an insulting/attacking way to a PIC (person of colour--the latest in inclusion terminology that will soon become just as futile as al the others, IMO.)

I don't believe in euphemisms -- but I do believe in inclusion and freedom for all humans, at least those who have not rejected society & its laws & rules.

For instance, I'm crippled, yes, but I am not "A cripple."; I'm a person with a mobility handicap(or disability, I don't care which is used, as most using them don't get the distinction, so I auto-translate the meaning & intent anyway.)

I wouldn't even use that adjhecti8ve for myself in the company of others I'm not 100% sure are on board with this kind of plain speaking terminology for themselves, as I know people are rote-trained to be overly sensitive to language subtleties.

I'm happy to speak of Melanesian police officers & pale skinned firefighters, and Asian mail carriers instead of the old terms, because they are more accurate than the presumed gender-specific predecessors, & I love accuracy in language -- English lends itself well to detailed & accurate descriptions of almost anything or anybody.

I haven't listened to commercial radio for years either.
With podcasts and so forth there is no need for that, to me. And I can
ff past the ads they have.

millennium, a bunch of MP3s. including the Bickersons & a few of other
shows, like some of Abbott & Costello's routines (I had no idea they had done a series on the "Who's on First?" type of punnistry.)

I always liked the Bickerson's.
I adopted a stray cat years ago that a neighbour found wandering about.
I already had one not in the market for another. But I agreed to keep
her until her slave could be found. (Never did and she became very close to me).
I didn't give her a name because you know what happens when you name an animal.
She liked to wake me in the middle of the night for some attention.
One night half awake I said, like John, "Blanche, let me sleep" and
there was her name! Blanche Bickerson DuBois. The DuBois was from a Streetcar named Desire were Blanche had "depended on the kindness of strangers".

It's funny to hear some of those old cigarette ads

What gets me are how all products claim they are better than the other similar products for sale.
I'm watching videos on automobiles, in order by year, make and model,
etc.
Each year the companies claimed their current model was better than the
last year. "This year's car is a lot better than last year, which was
junk".
(Currently I am near the end of 1957 run).

Cool background to her name! Better story than most.

Yup, I laugh at the beer ads, as I've figured out that once you've chemically aged the beer, they all taste the same, in a category (lager, ale)

I rarely drink beer any more -- the occasional oatmeal stout in winter & a Chinese beer or two each summer does it for me. . . Now I just need to find a local; bar that sells Porter,. as I've not had that yet.

Youtube video or big download?

I interpret that ad claim as saying, "Ha Ha! We got your money on that piece of crap; we've now changed a thing or two & raised the price. Please buy this one, too?

Iacocca was the lar of the original thinkers in that industry -- the Mustang & Cougar will always live on as master examples of the US Muscle Car.

My ex brother-in-law had a '67 Cougar. took me for a ride up in the back country up north -- this thing went uphill faster than most of today's cars go downhill!

Sure feels nice to sink back into the leather buckets as the car accelerates with pure power. The modern Mustang has power, too, but the feel, to me, is completely different.
