# Vox Pop

Heard 1939–1948. 32 episodes.

NPR has said that Vox Pop was the first "Quiz Show" but that was sort of peripheral to the show, which was produced in a different location each week. It billed itself as the "premier audience participation show" and now these short interviews provide a keyhole glimpse into the era in which it was created. You can read more about Vox Pop here: http://www.npr.org/programs/morning/features/patc/quizshow/index.html http://www.digitaldeliftp.com/DigitalDeliToo/dd2jb-Vox-Pop.html also see the punny WB cartoon here: http://archive.org/details/FoxPop ...there was a lot of disc noise so I had to do some noise reduction on some of the files.

From WWII Era Audio Recordings at the Internet Archive.

Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is.
