Long before it became a TV staple, Linkletter was already charming radio audiences with candid conversations featuring schoolchildren and their wonderfully unpredictable answers. In this broadcast, a group of Los Angeles schoolchildren share their ambitions, opinions, and observations about life—from movie-star impressions and business ventures to future dreams of acting, marriage, and radio. Linkletter’s gentle humor and quick reactions allow the comedy to emerge naturally, creating a warm portrait of childhood curiosity in postwar America. Originally part of the long-running House Party radio program, the segment captured something timeless: the unexpected honesty and imagination of children speaking entirely for themselves. More than seven decades later, the conversations remain funny, revealing, and surprisingly familiar.
