The Stan Freberg Show: The Complete Collection Audiobook (Free)

The Stan Freberg Present ran on CBS radio for just fifteen episodes in 1957. It starred comedian Stan Freberg and featured his stock company of performers: Daws Butler, June Foray, and Peter Leeds. In addition, it featured singing superstar Peggy Taylor, the vocal stylings from the Jud Conlon Rythmnaires, and the musical path of Billy May. Despite its short run, the show developed working gags and stock jokes that remain kept in mind today, including Freberg’s ambivalence toward Madison Avenue towards the about The Stan Freberg Display: The Complete Collection overwhelmingly popular interviews having a sneaker-wearing Abominable Snowman. Much of the show took deadly satiric aim in the advertising business, making it difficult for CBS to discover a sponsor. By week thirteen it had been apparent that a sponsor wouldn’t normally be signing on, so CBS terminated the display after just fifteen episodes.

The Stan Freberg Display was the last American network radio show to devote itself purely to comedy. This collection features all fifteen episodes of The Stan Freberg Present plus a reward bout of The CBS Radio Workshop from 1956 starring Stan Freberg and his share business, including Alan Reed (the voice of Fred Flintstone). On this thirty-minute present, Stan points out the artwork of satire to a skeptical censor and illustrates the reason with his own recordings. The collection is crucial for Freberg enthusiasts!
