Host Wyatt Cox brings the best of radio classics back to life with both the passion of a long-time (as in more than half a century) fan and the heart of a forty-year newsman. But more than just “playing the hits”, Wyatt supplements the first hour of each day’s show with historical information on the day and date in history, including audio that takes you back to World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. FDR, Eisenhower, JFK, Reagan, Carter, Nixon, LBJ. It’s a true slice of life from not just radio’s past, but America’s past. Wyatt produces 21 hours a week of freshly minted Classic Radio Theater presentations each week, and each day’s broadcast is timely and entertaining!","last_synced_at":"2026-09-08T14:18:39.016814+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/classic-radio-theater-with-wyatt-cox-4652529"},"episode":{"title":"Classic Radio 07-21-26 - City Hall Bombing, Lottery Racket, and Alibi","slug":"classic-radio-07-21-26-city-hall-bombing-lottery-racket-and-alibi","published_at":"2026-07-21T07:00:03+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/classic-radio-theater-with-wyatt-cox-4652529/classic-radio-07-21-26-city-hall-bombing-lottery-racket-and-alibi","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/classic-radio-theater-with-wyatt-cox-4652529","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/classic-radio-07-21-26-city-hall-bombing-lottery-racket-and-alibi--72845941","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72845941/classic_radio_07_21_26_city_hall_bombing_lottery_racket_and_alibi.mp3","summary":"Crime and Science Fiction on a Tuesday First, a look at this day in History.
