Our Miss Brooks - "Tape Recorder" (Old Time Radio, 1950)

Our Miss Brooks, “Tape Recorder” (episode 89), originally broadcast on April 23, 1950. Also known as “School Economics,” this CBS Radio comedy stars Eve Arden as Madison High teacher Connie Brooks, with Gale Gordon as the ever-demanding Principal Osgood Conklin. Conklin’s strict economy drive at Madison High collides with Walter Denton’s new tape recorder, putting Miss Brooks and the school staff in a precarious comic predicament. The episode plays on postwar budget worries and the then-novel possibilities of recording technology in the classroom. Old Time Retro Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
