Joe Palooka 02 Eps
"Joe Palooka" was a comic-strip character featured in a short-lived radio situation-comedy. This series only has two episodes available online, which may be due to its brief run. While there is a #007 that appears on many websites, it is actually a poor-quality version of episode #002.
For those who remember, Joe Palooka was a beloved comic-strip character, and a small comic-strip was included in each of the original Double Bubble bubblegum wrappers.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

Childhood hero!

It is very sad for me that only (2) episodes of Joe Palooka on the air have survived. From 4-12-1932 until 8-25-1932, (38) 15 minute episodes were on the air during the CBS run, and from 11-12-1945 until 5-10-1946, (130) 15-minute episodes were on the air during the NCBS run. Nine Joe Palooka films were made...(1) in 1934, (5) in 1936, and (3) in 1937.Terry Bergman (later called Alan Reed) played Joe Palooka on the airwaves. Mr.Reed was later the voice of Fred Flintstone. Joe Palooka was a hero during WWII, over the airways and in the comics. Thanks for sharing these two wonderful and memorable episodes. Thanks for the memories!
