Lassie on the radio


Have you ever listened to the old time radio shows of Lassie? I find it interesting that Lassie is a true actor in that she plays various canine parts. Well it IS radio after-all and you can use your minds eye to picture the dog she represents in each episode. Very interesting and fun!

I've never heard that it was on radio ?. It would be fun to hear it.

In the 1980s and 1990s I would listen to THOSE WERE THE DAYS. Host Chuck Schaeden would replay golden age radio programs and LASSIE was one of them. Each week she would portray a different breed of dog in a new story. Interesting.

Interesting. I listen to old time radio pretty much every night, but had no idea that Lassie was ever on the radio. Then again, none of the stations that I’ve ever listened to have ever played Little Orphan Annie, either.

Did they have a real dog, or was it just some guy doing dog sounds?
