"The Story Lady" was a local children's program on WHO, Des Moines, Iowa. In this post, we hear the last fifteen minutes of the broadcast of January 10, 1948. The show includes birthday greetings, songs, a segment where the kids try to come up with names for pets of listeners, and a child in the audience with a bad cold who coughs up a lung during the broadcast.
I couldn't make out the name of the host at the end of the program and didn't have any luck finding newspaper articles about her or the show - perhaps one of our readers can help us out with more information. (Heck, it may be that one of our listeners was in the audience that day.) Our program was transferred from an original WHO single-sided lacquer. The disc came from a group of local programs from 1948 heard on stations around the country - I think they may have been entries in some type of contest for local programming.Version: 20240320
