THE LIBBY ADVENTURE HOUR - OG, SON OF FIRE from NBC on Nov 12, 1934.

OG, SON OF FIRE was a 1935 kids serial sponsored by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). Somehow, 100,000 years ago, all of the cave people and our heroes speak English!

The series was sponsored by BSA and produced through advertising agency J. Walter Thompson in 1935. The purpose of the program was to promote interest in science and history.

For decades this series was the Holy Grail of Old-Time Radio collectors. Well, finally, we have one to listen to!!
