That is part of the charm of these programs in that what you are hearing is the same thing that people heard when they tuned into these programs. These programs are a part of our country history known as "The Golden Age of Radio". A great number of episodes of these programs have been lost, never to be reproduced, and we do not want to see any more programs disappear. Please join us in perserving this portion of Americana so is doesn't disappear completely. Thank you for looking. Happy Bidding. ****** You may be able to find MP3 discs for less and we could offer ours for less also if we were to cut costs. We could write the title of the program on the disc but we prefer to have a picture lable with the title of the program printed on it; We could put the CD in a paper or plastic sleeve but, again, we prefer to use a quality, sturdy plastic jewel case for each Cd.; we also prefer to use a picture for the jewel case along with a booklet listing the episodes on the CD. We enjoy what we do and we appreciate the friends we have made here on Ebay over the years and we pride ourselves on offering quality products so that is what we will keep producing. These early radio episodes are true American treasures and are must listening to for anyone who grew up in that era. For those a bit younger, it is a window into how your parents and grandparents entertained themselves. Remember, this was the time before most folks had a TV. Before the days of video games, shopping malls, MTV, and the Internet, families used to sit in their living room each night to listen to radio shows such as Superman, Groucho Marx, The Avenger, Gunsmoke, Sherlock Holmes, and many others. When TV become popular in the 1950's, most of these shows went off the air, but they now live on. These shows, which are in the Public Domain, are very difficult to find.

Information Please was an American radio quiz show, created by Dan Golenpaul, which aired on NBC from May 17, 1938 to June 25, 1948. The series was moderated by Clifton Fadiman (1904–1999). A panel of experts would attempt to answer questions submitted by listeners. If the panelists were stumped, the questioner earned five dollars and a complete edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica. As the years went by, the prize money increased accordingly. Quiz Kids, a popular radio-TV series of the 1940s and 1950s, was created by Chicago public relations and advertising man Louis G. Cowan. Originally sponsored by Alka-Seltzer, the series was first broadcast on NBC from Chicago, June 28, 1940, airing as a summer replacement show for Alec Templeton Time. It continued on radio for the next 13 years. Truth or Consequences was an American quiz show, originally hosted on NBC radio by Ralph Edwards from 1940 to 1957, Ralph Edwards would say later that he got the idea for a new radio program after playing a parlor game called "forfeits".[1] The show premiered on NBC radio in March, 1940 and was an instant hit with listeners. The idea of the show was to mix the original quiz element of game shows with wacky stunts. Doctor IQ was an American radio and television game show. The radio version aired from 1939 to 1950 on the NBC and ABC networks. James McClain played the host, known as "Doctor IQ". He was aided in his hosting duties by Lew Valentine. The basic premise of the game was very simple. Assistants would wander the theater, looking for audience members to play the game. When the assistant found someone willing to play, he or she would tell the "doctor," "I have a gentleman in the balcony, Doctor!" or something similar. The host would then say, depending on the difficulty of the question: "Two (more or less) silver dollars and a box of Mars Bars (the show's sponsor)if you can answer this!" Then he would pose a general-knowledge question to the contestant. A correct answer would win the stated dollar amount and candy in the first part of the game, and $20 in the second part; incorrect answers would result in a $1 consolation prize. All prizes were paid in silver dollars, as noted by the host. At some point during the show, a jingle would play, and the contestant wold get a chance to spin the "Wisdom Wheel," which would contain prize amounts from $1 to $100, each of which corresponded to a question whose difficulty increased with the prize amount.   1 Dr IQ - Current Name of Peking 07/17/1939 2 Truth or Consequences - Imitating Airplane Sounds 06/23/1945 3 Quiz Kids - Guest Jack Benny 04/16/1941 4 Information Please - Judge James C Wallace 01/10/1941 5 Dr IQ - West Point of the Air 01/26/1942 6 Truth or Consequences - Guest The Glee Club 10/18/1947 7 Quiz Kids - Guest Sister Elizabeth Kenny 01/24/1943 8 Information Please - Owen Davis 01/17/1941 9 Dr IQ - Date of Pearl Harbor Attack 07/13/1942 10 Truth or Consequences - Crackers in the Mouth 10/25/1947 11 Quiz Kids - Guest Jack Benny 02/21/1943 12 Information Please - Boris Karloff 01/24/1941 13 Dr IQ - Robinson Crusoe 03/06/1948 14 Truth or Consequences - The Hot Seat 11/01/1947 15 Quiz Kids - Fred Allen 03/28/1943 16 Information Please - Alexander Walcott 01/31/1941 17 Truth or Consequences - Squirtless Seltzer Bottle 11/08/1947 18 Quiz Kids - What Husband Gave His Wife Her Only Name 03/24/1946 19 Information Please - Sir Wilmot Lewis 02/07/1941 20 Truth or Consequences - Instructions For Milking a Cow 11/16/1947 21 Quiz Kids - Guest Vanessa Brown 07/21/1946 22 Information Please - Dr. Henry Noble 02/14/1941 23 Truth or Consequences - Suspended Over a Water Tank 11/22/1947 24 Quiz Kids - Ambassador Wilhelm Morgenstern 03/09/1947 25 Information Please - Jo Davidson 02/21/1941 26 Truth or Consequences - Sing Rockabye Baby 11/29/1947 27 Quiz Kids - From Denver, Colorado 05/18/1947 28 Information Please - John O'Hara 02/28/1941 29 Truth or Consequences - Christmas Seals 12/20/1947 30 Quiz Kids - Three Explorers Names La De Da 07/27/1947 31 Information Please -Christopher Morley 03/07/1941 32 Truth or Consequences - Guest William Bendix 01/17/1948 33 Quiz Kids - Who Hopes to Whip Cream in June 03/21/1948 34 Information Please - Claude Wickard 03/14/1941 35 Truth or Consequences - Walking Man Revealed 03/06/1948 36 Quiz Kids - Easter Bunny Visits 03/28/1948 37 Information Please - Roland Young 03/21/1941 38 Truth or Consequences -Guest Boris Karloff 10/30/1948 39 Quiz Kids - From Dearborn Michigan 04/11/1948 40 Information Please - Elsa Lanchester 03/28/1941 41 Truth or Consequences - Sit in a Crow's Nest 10/08/1949 42 Quiz Kids - What Animal Has Always Had the New Look 04/18/1948 43 Information Please - John Gunther 04/04/1941 44 Truth or Consequences -The Laughing Boy is Correctly Guessed 10/22/1949 45 Quiz Kids - The Quiz Kid's Mothers 05/09/1948 46 Information Please - Phillip Merrivale 04/11/1941 47 Truth or Consequences -Man Sealed in Room For One Week 07/29/1952 48 Quiz Kids - Visitors to Pittsburgh 05/23/1948 49 Information Please - Rex Stout 04/18/1941 50 Quiz Kids - A Nymph With a Telescope Looking at a Comet 05/30/1948 51 Information Please - Paul Lucas 04/25/1941 52 Quiz Kids - Baseball Dessert 06/06/1948 53 Information Please - Donald Ogden Stuart 05/02/1941 54 Quiz Kids - The Quiz Kid's Fathers 06/20/1948 55 Information Please - Gene Tunney 05/09/1941 56 Quiz Kids - Eighth Annivsary Show 06/27/1948             1 Information Please - Frank Sullivan 05/16/1941 2 Quiz Kids - Celebrating Independance Day 07/04/1948 3 Information Please - Cornelia Otis Skinner 05/30/1941 4 Quiz Kids - What Combination of Names Means Wet Rabbitt 07/11/1948 5 Information Please - Sally Benson 06/06/1941 6 Quiz Kids - Popular Song is Name of Explorer 07/18/1948 7 Information Please - William Tilden 06/13/1941 8 Quiz Kids - Tom, Dick and Harry Were in the News 07/25/1948 9 Information Please - Judge James Wallace 06/20/1941 10 Quiz Kids - A Monarch Recently Turned Indian 08/01/1948 11 Information Please - Alfred Hitchcock 06/27/1941 12 Quiz Kids - What Skin Makes the Best Slippers 08/08/1948 13 Information Please - John Gunther 07/04/1941 14 Quiz Kids - Wear Into the White House 08/15/1948 15 Information Please - Mary Boland 07/11/1941 16 Quiz Kids - Sign Name for Hershey 08/29/1948 17 Information Please - Dr Henry Noble 08/01/1941 18 Quiz Kids - Who is the Most Recent Queen for a Day 09/05/1948 19 Information Please - Larry Macphale 08/08/1941 20 Quiz Kids - The Railroad Fair 09/12/1948 21 Information Please - Deems Taylor 08/15/1941 22 Quiz Kids - If Hawaii is the Forty-Ninth State 09/26/1948 23 Information Please - Deems Taylor 09/05/1941 24 Quiz Kids - Fish and the General's Name 10/03/1948 25 Information Please - Stephen Vincent Bonet 09/19/1941 26 Quiz Kids - A President's Name is an Indian Tribe 10/10/1948 27 Information Please - Sir Thomas Beecham 09/26/1941 28 Quiz Kids -From St Louis, Missouri 10/17/1948 29 Information Please - Lefty Gomez 10/03/1941 30 Quiz Kids -A Mousetrap, a Buttonhook and a Statue Of Liberty 11/07/1948 31 Information Please - Fred Allen 10/17/1941 32 Quiz Kids -Thanksgiving Poem 11/21/1948 33 Information Please - C.S.
