1. Listen to the Mystery Frequency podcast for a wide variety of old time radio dramas, like Dr. Sixgun and Captain Starr of Space.

2. I want to say that toys advertising actual gold seems like something unique to our modern hellscape, but they’ve probably done it before, or equally ridiculous and borderline scammy promotions. For example, in 1955, Quaker Oats bought 19 acres of land in the Yukon Territory of Canada and printed 21 millions deeds, each deed for square inch of land, as a promotion for the Sergeant Preston of the Yukon TV show.
