I used to listen to this sitting on the kitchen table in 1950 or thereabouts. I especially loved the introduction with the Fat Man on the scale and the building music.I could never find anyone who remembered this show, and after a while I began to believe I'd made it up. Then I ran into a geezer at the dog park who said-"Yeah Fat Man, I remember that." And here it is. ...a transplanted New Yorker in San Francisco.
