In this special edition, the usual interviewer, Ronald Reagan, finds himself on the other side of the microphone, questioned by Nancy Reagan in a wide-ranging and remarkably candid conversation. Recorded in 1960, the interview captures Reagan at a transitional moment in his public life, known nationally as an actor, television host, and corporate spokesman, but years before his entrance into elected office. Over the course of several short segments, Reagan reflects on his upbringing in the Midwest, his years as a lifeguard and sports announcer, his discovery in Hollywood, and his work in film and television. He also speaks warmly about life on his California ranch, revealing a personal philosophy shaped by physical labor, the outdoors, and self-reliance. The relaxed back-and-forth between Ronald and Nancy Reagan gives the program an unusually intimate tone, offering listeners a glimpse of a media figure whose ease behind the microphone was forged long before politics entered the picture. As a piece of broadcast history, the episode highlights how radio and television interviews helped shape public personas in the mid-20th century.
