Orson Welles Radio Almanac is a variety program hosted by Orson Welles, bringing together music, comedy, and conversation. The series features Welles as its guiding presence, with performers and guests contributing to a changing mix of entertainment.

Rather than following a single dramatic storyline, the program offers a collection of radio variety material. Its appeal lies in the contrast between Welles’s distinctive, theatrical delivery and the lighter performances and musical interludes around him.

This recording features Dennis Day, whose familiar singing voice adds a musical dimension to the program. The result is an engaging snapshot of wartime-era radio variety, balancing polished performance with the relaxed, conversational feel of a hosted show.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
