"MEDICINE SHOW" 1 01-06-35
The Adventures of Sonny and Buddy, and Jack returned to the family with a contract in hand. The show was broadcast over KSFD from the top of the U.S. Grant Hotel. At the same time, the family traveled to Hollywood every weekend where they recorded the five episodes of the show that had been broadcast live that week. This was to facilitate distribution to other radio stations as well. It was the first dramatic serialized radio program ever recorded at RCA Victor Studios in Hollywood. One hundred episodes were ultimately syndicated, and most still survive in a tape archive of the 16" transcriptions, stored with Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters in California. (An MP3 CD of the series will be in the works someday.)
