It's the final pick in our brief series examining the diverse work of radio writer/director Arch Oboler. We've explored just about every type of script Oboler did, from fantasy, horror, drama, comedy, and pulp. Today we are going back to 1938, when Arch Oboler wrote a comedy sketch for a primetime radio variety show that infamously caused such a fervor, it almost destroyed hundreds of network radio stations. John takes a fresh look at the show that got Mae West banned from radio, to see if it's as scandalous today as it was 85 years ago.
