About this listen

The Stan Freberg Show ran on CBS radio for only 15 episodes in 1957. It starred comedian Stan Freberg and featured his stock company of performers: Daws Butler, June Foray, and Peter Leeds. It also featured singing star Peggy Taylor, the vocal stylings of The Jud Conlon Rythmnaires, and the musical direction of Billy May. Despite its short run, the show developed running gags and stock jokes that are still remembered today, including Freberg's ambivalence toward Madison Avenue and the overwhelmingly popular interviews with a sneaker-wearing Abominable Snowman. Much of the show took deadly satiric aim at the advertising business, making it difficult for CBS to find a sponsor. By week 13 it was apparent that a sponsor would not be signing on, so CBS cancelled the show after just 15 episodes.

The Stan Freberg Show was the last American network radio show to devote itself purely to comedy. This collection features all 15 episodes of The Stan Freberg Show plus a bonus episode of The CBS Radio Workshop from 1956 starring Stan Freberg and his stock company, including Alan Reed (the voice of Fred Flintstone). On this 30-minute show, Stan explains the art of satire to a skeptical censor and illustrates the explanation with his own recordings. The collection is a must for Freberg lovers!

He could be down right silly with some of the skits but there was also something lurking with a bit of a bite. Listened when I was younger and am so glad this collection is available. It's not just a walk down memory lane becasue most of the craziness he saw in the world still is alive and kicking, sad to say.
