Take a trip back to your childhood growing up in Philadelphia in the 40s, 50s and 60s. Talk about Howdy Doody, Ed Sullivan, Uncle Miltie and I Love Lucy and hear their theme songs played on the keyboard. Listen to the old commercial jingles like Melrose Diner, Oscar Meyer and Kisling's Sauerkraut and guess the product and/or show. Old favorites Al Jolson, Jack Benny and The Goldbergs will be included. Recall local icons, Sally Starr, Wee Willie Webber, Chief Halftown, Gene London and much more. All student participation. All fun! All you!
Jackie Strauss
Broadcast Pioneers Board member Jackie Strauss is a Philly girl, born and raised. Her memories of growing up in the city led her to her position as "Neighborhood Correspondent" on the "Remember When” radio program, along with hosts, Steve Ross and Jim Murray, formerly on “CBS 1210 AM” and then on “ 990 AM WNTP” for over a decade. During the six years Jackie was a part of the radio show, her segment was one of the longest-running features; reporting on people's birthdays, anniversaries, reunions and events in their lives, and researching the various neighborhoods in the Delaware Valley which prompted calls from listeners anxious to talk about their memories and their pride in the places where they grew up. Jackie was always a part of the conversational dialogue between Steve and Jimmy and their listeners, as they took their weekly trip together down "Memory Lane”.N/A
