For more than 50 years, Bob Hope kept America in stitches. Though he got his showbiz start in vaudeville and later found fame on television and in films, Hope achieved his greatest success on radio. Bob Hope's Pepsodent Show was radio's highest-rated series during the war years, and his legendary broadcasts from military bases around the world helped boost American morale during some of our darkest days. Now, Radio Spirits is proud to present The Bob Hope Show, an exclusive collection that features some of Hope's greatest radio shows from 1938 to 1954, and includes a stellar list of guests. Laugh along with Lucille Ball, Jimmy Stewart, Bing Crosby, Jimmy Durante and others as they try to match wits with America's greatest entertainer.This landmark collection includes 40 episodes-most available for the first time since they originally aired almost 50 years ago. It also includes a 32-page behind-the-scenes booklet featuring rare photos and a special foreword written by the legendary Bob Hope himself.
