Show #28 - Let's Pretend and The Easy Aces (and a treat)

This week on the Old Time Radio Express, we listen to one of the most well-respected children's program from the golden age of radio - Let's Pretend.  In fact, one of my first brushes with old time radio involved Let's Pretend, though I didn't realize it at the time. 

Believe it or not, one could check out LP's (records) from the Carol Stream library, much like cds and DVDs are available at libraries nowadays.  Well, I had my little record player at home, and remember checking out a record with dramatized fairy stories called Let's Pretend.  I can't tell you the names of the shows on the records the Carol Stream library had, but I'm certain they were Let's Pretend programs. 

After listening to this particular Let's Pretend episode ("The Six Swans"), I think you'll see why some of the various touches in the show still stand out years later.

We follow up with an isolated comedy of the Easy Aces, and end with an old time radio curiosity that you won't want to miss.  (Here's a photo clue to the surprise below...) Enjoy!
