Old Time Radio Comedy — Andy Griffith: "Aint it so" | Full Episode May 13, 2026

Show notes

Before Mayberry, Andy Griffith was a stand-up comic with a thick Carolina drawl and a knack for spinning a yarn. 'Ain't It So' is a short, folksy monologue from his 1950s Capitol and Colonial Records run -- the wide-eyed country boy puzzling out the everyday with that perfectly timed pause and a singsong 'ain't it so?' Pure plainspoken Americana from the man who would soon become Sheriff Taylor of Mayberry. 🎧 Hundreds more classic radio shows free at https://www.vintageradioshows.com 📱 Listen anywhere with the Vintage Radio app for iPhone and iPad: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vintage-radio/id455577974

Show notes

From 22 August 1948 on CBS, Howard Duff stars as Dashiell Hammett's hard-boiled private eye Sam Spade in 'The Vaphio Cup Caper.' A priceless ancient Greek gold cup pulls Sam into a tangle of collectors, forgers, and characters who'd happily put a slug in him for it -- with Lurene Tuttle's Effie Perine at the typewriter catching every wisecrack. Classic William Spier-produced detective radio at its sharpest. 🎧 Hundreds more classic radio shows free at https://www.vintageradioshows.com 📱 Listen anywhere with the Vintage Radio app for iPhone and iPad: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vintage-radio/id455577974

Show notes

The Jack Benny Program turns the spotlight on its longtime announcer in "The Don Wilson Story," a January 10, 1954 CBS broadcast that plays as part affectionate roast and part tribute. The Benny troupe -- Mary Livingstone, Rochester, Dennis Day, Mel Blanc, and bandleader Bob Crosby -- trade gags about Don's hearty laugh, his Lucky Strike pitches, and his improbable twenty-year tenure beside Jack, while the cheapest man in radio milks every moment for a punchline. 🎧 Hundreds more classic radio shows free at https://www.vintageradioshows.com 📱 Listen anywhere with the Vintage Radio app for iPhone and iPad: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vintage-radio/id455577974
