In this episode, Rod & Gary burrow into the 1950s with a focus on 3GL's innovative broadcasts. From the zany Soap Box Derby, where Happy Hammond famously competed, to the groundbreaking live coverage by Bill Acfield of an Avon-Sabre breaking the sound barrier, explore the era's daring entertainment.
Featuring interviews, historical insights, and even a student-designed record cover, it's a trip back to a dynamic era in radio history.
