This is the CBS Radio Audition Show of Stan Freberg's sitcom entitled "That's Rich" airing on November 21, 1953. Show only lasted until midway through 1954 with about a dozen shows preserved. Track includes background about the series. Do not be mistaken that the short run of the program in any way minimizes the creativity of the stories and the amazing portrayal of Rich Wilk that Stan Freberg did as the lead character. This show never failed to entertain in a quirky sort of way because it was so different from anything else on the air. However fewer and fewer people were listening to radio by 1954 and had turned their attention to the amazing "radio with pictures" known as television. "That's Rich" is considered by many critics of the time as a "Classic" example of the Golden Days of Radio. Thank you for listening... and find more of Stan Freberg in the playlist by the same name on this podcast.
