Sonny Fox shares his memories of the quiz show scandals of the 50’s, recalls experiences as WWII POW in Germany, and Wonderama host and JFK friendship.

I didn't know any of this. Not one bit of it. And it turned out to be unexpectedly interesting. The POW part is especially interesting. I never heard of Wonderama but should have. And I did know about the 64,000 Dollar Question scandal, but I did not know about Joyce Brothers memorizing boxing stats to prevail in that line of questioning.

He describes early t.v. as being rather goofy and a lot of fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants.

It is an interesting podcast hosted by Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast here. I realize you can take Gottfried only in small doses, and that's okay, here he is very good listener throughout and only laughs (maniacally) here and there. I have a feeling you might enjoy this even more than I did.
