More about Jack

Well I've talked to Laura Leibowitz, Kathy Seeley and now I'm talking to John Henderson.
Henderson has his own podcast called "This Day in Jack Benny".
It's where he discusses before he rolls the Jack Benny episode, some of the obscure references behind it.
Jack's show is over 80 years old by this point, and while not all the humor is topical, some of it definitely relies on references from the time.
John takes time to explain that.


I talked to him about where the idea came from, how he found Jack Benny, his love of old radio in general, and when to introduce your kids to something you love that's old.

Oh, and for Doctor Who fans, a sprinkling of Doctor Who and Star Trek.
