During the Second World War, Winston Churchill’s finance minister said Britain should cut arts funding to support the war effort.
Churchill’s response: “Then what are we fighting for?”

In the last Vanish Old Time Radio episode we vented our frustration with slow-mo walking scenes with explosions in the background. I believe the following clip says it better than we ever could.

The Russian Revolution will be analyzed! Da! Our analytics shows that Russia has some interest in the Vanish Old Time Radio. We’re flattered. We also pride ourselves on being good hosts. For all you Americans, we’ve provided the crazy woman speaking in tongues. For our comrades in India, we’ve provided Little Superstar. Now, for our Russian allies, we’re providing this little slice of joy. Da! DIY! Da!

My friend Lisa and her daughter were recently listening to the Vanish Old Time Radio show. Her daughter turned to her.
“Do you love your friends?”
“Yes I do,” Lisa responded.
“Good. Because they are really weird.”
Sounds about right. We laugh as we criticize ourselves. I can’t finish a sentence to save my life. Mike thinks his laugh sounds too high-pitched. We constantly interrupt each other. We can’t keep a consistent microphone volume level because we move when we talk. We have a ton of inside jokes. And on it goes…
But the number of listeners are growing. And we’ve never felt more comfortable about the show and Vanish as a whole. It’s who we are, warts and all.
Welcome to our weird little world. Show some cube.
