The Jack Benny Program presents “Series Synopsis,” originally published February 2, 2019. This seven-minute reference feature surveys the long-running comedy series rather than presenting a conventional dramatic installment.Adapted from John Dunning’s The Encyclopedia of Old Time Radio, the synopsis traces Jack Benny’s evolution from an early sponsor-and-music format into the character-driven comedy built around Benny’s famously vain, miserly radio persona and his recurring ensemble. It also touches on the program’s 1932–1958 radio run and changing sponsors.The Jack Benny Program presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.Chapters:00:00 Victor Sterling Introduction00:45 Original Broadcast07:36 ClosingSupport Old Time Retro Radio at https://www.patreon.com/oldtimeretroradio
