Tex and Jinx
American Success Stories
by
Tex and Jinx was a New York radio interview program hosted by Tex McCrary and Jinx Falkenburg, the husband-and-wife team known for their lively conversations with prominent guests. Their easy rapport and contrasting personalities helped make the show a distinctive meeting place for entertainment, public affairs, and everyday life.
The program centered on interviews, with guests drawn from the worlds of politics, culture, and show business. McCrary and Falkenburg encouraged conversation rather than formal speeches, giving listeners a chance to hear public figures speak in a relaxed, personal setting. The title “American Success Stories” suggests a focus on achievement and the people behind it.
Its appeal lies in the immediacy of live radio conversation: questions, anecdotes, and opinions unfold in the moment, shaped by the hosts’ curiosity and the guest’s personality. The result is an engaging snapshot of postwar American life, presented through voices and stories rather than narration.
