Kate Smith Speaks was the most listened-to program in daytime radio
during the 1940s. The mixture of folksy vignettes, news items, and
heartfelt editorials presented a slice of life on the home front.
Kate Smith was one of the three most popular female personalities
of the times, both as a vocalist and as a commentator. She liked
the informality of the "Speaks" broadcasts because it brought her
closer to her listeners. Travel back to the era before, during, and
after World War II through fifty actual scripts.
