The Old Time Radio Snack Wagon

This week's we're serving up an episode of John Nesbit's "The Passing Parade." Originally aired on December 6, 1936, this episode offers a fascinating glimpse into the political and cultural landscape of the time with a series of short, compelling vignettes. From the amusing bets surrounding the 1936 presidential election to the whimsical tale of the whistling mailman, each story is a testament to Nesbit's masterful storytelling. Discover the legendary Emperor Norton, a beloved San Francisco figure whose eccentric dreams and proclamations left an indelible mark on the city. This episode captures the essence of a bygone era, blending humor, history, and humanity in a way that only Nesbit could.
