Concerning the first clip, "The Adventures of Babe Ruth," there is a problem with how the show has been dated. At least the last section is from a later date, probably from around 1949-1950. In the same sources that uploaded the files of this show and listed every episode as being from 1934, they mention that the show was sponsored by Quaker Oats, though clearly this episode was not, which leads me to believe that it was been continuously misdated. All sources seem to have uploaded the same files and all have identified it as being from 1934, so it seems that there has been a misunderstanding from the very beginning. I'm not the first and probably won't be the last to make that mistake, so sorry about that, everyone. Feel free to skip it if you like.

Although Fibber McGee and Molly began in 1935, the episode at 1:43:42 is from WWII, dated 4/21/1942.

Quite right. Plenty of clues right of the bat, including the fact that Uppy rang the doorbelll, which the McGee's didn't have until Christmas 1941.

12:22 — If the Adventures of Babe Ruth episode is from 1934, how can there be a reference to the second world war?

I wondered the same thing, and given also that the script referenced The Babe in a kinda past-tensy way i suspected a typo & after searching some on the web gather that the item here is from a series run and rerun from 1947 or so to 1955 or so. Babe's demise in 1948 doubtless allowed an overall writing & production style that was already hagiographic to reach objective gag-reflex metric; the historic record showing Babe's life as a decades-long continuous show of bad-boy antics and a gutter vocabulary tell me it's lucky the guy WAS dead when the series was made cuz if he hadn't been he mighta choked Jimi Hendrix-style.
THANKS, however, a million thanks, to the OIB Network for this compilation. Good stuff here, some stuff new even to this 40-years-collecting OTR fan. My remarks above should in NO WAY be construed as criticism: OTR was often "un-nuanced", much of its charm coming therefrom. Those who knock OTR for its obviousness or lack of subtlety are speaking from a world in which active subtlety is used every minute to insinuate, lull and deceive; used successfully; i get more from the obviously contrived works of radio's Golden Age than from the product-placement-littered, hidden-advocacy works of today's turgid dramaturges. Old is indeed best. More, more!

This is a US Navy recruiting show provided as public service programming to radio stations in the 1950’s.

@@angelsaltamontes7336 I'd like to know the sources from which you gathered information on Babe Ruth. If all you discovered was that his life was a continuous string of "bad-boy antcs" and "gutter vocabulary" and that he died in 1948, you're going to receive a failing grade. That would be akin to stating that Tiger Woods was a guy that played golf, swore a lot and had a car accident...end of story. Or that Samuel Clemens was an old, dead dude that had white hair and smoked a lot. What a pretentious load of multi-syllabic bullshit!!! I'm glad you were able to put Roget's Thesaurus to misuse as well. Next time, try to communicate with your reader rather than spout a truckload of pseudo-intellectual gibberish. Peace.

Hmm, the source where I got it from marked it as 1934, and other sources say the same, but it could very well be a case of everyone parroting what the first source said. Or it was simply mislabeled as a similar show. It's also possible that, because that part is in the last section, it was later tacked on to an earlier recording to be rebroadcast in an updated form. I'm not really sure yet which of these it is, but I'll try to look into it more.

Edit: It seems that there is some disagreement on OTR community sites because there is clearly a discrepancy in the dates. Some say that it was a copy of the original series, but not original recordings. Others say that the end, where the later references are, was tacked on later. If it is in fact a different series not featuring any of the original recordings, then it has been widely misidentified by many uploaders on the Internet Archive, which would explain why the same mistake would keep happening.
