Saved From Oblivion – Lear Guess What (4/21/14)

28:00 – Welcome to another Saved from Oblivion!
Today’s show features two short programs. The first show features Orson Welles, in a show simply known by the sponsor’s name: Lear. He gives us his own news commentary of the day (in post-war July 1946) and my bet is that he will surprise you with his passion and charisma, as he reveals his feelings about an African-American veteran who was unjustly abused by the police.
The second program, called Guess What, is much lighter. It’s an interactive quiz program. When you play along and try your own hand at the quiz, you will find it’s not so easy. This show was directed at the late teen and young adult audience. Were kids in the early 1950’s that much smarter than us, with our internet?
