This week, we take a look at soldiers far from home and how the Armed Forces Radio Services brought them a taste of home with the help of local radio stations.
While the popular World War I refrain, "How are you going to keep them back on the farm when they've seen Paree." While there was truth in this song, American servicemen and servicewomen often longed for home. Wayback Home was a daily fifteen minute series that featured listener requests answered by hometown radio stations.
The December 22, 1953 episode of Way Back Home featured a gospel acapella song, hog calling, and a country music performance by a forgotten radio band.

The Old Time Radio snack Wagon is on its summer break.
We're tuning up the snack wagon, ordering our ingredients and
preparing to serve you up a new match of old
time radio snacks in our fifth season. In the meantime,
enjoy the second helping of some of our best season
one episodes, and we'll be back with our new season
(00:23):
on Monday, September eighth.

Pardon me, are you Adam Graham?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
The very same? And this is my old time radio
snack Wagon.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Welcome to the Old Time Radio snack Wagon, where we
serve up a bite sized portion of old time radio.
And now here's your snack wagon host Adam Graham.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Welcome to the Old Time Radio snack Wagon. That song,
released in nineteen eighteen and sung by Nora Bays with
words by Joe Young and Sam Lewis, with music by
Walter Donaldson, was one of the great popular post World
War One songs. Like many of those songs, it enjoyed
(03:45):
a revival during World War Two, and it be sung
by so many legendary musicians such as Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor,
and Dinnah Shoor. It also has an important truth behind it.
One of the great agents of social change in the
twentieth century was military service. So many people served in
(04:08):
the military and were exposed to a different world and
got opportunities they wouldn't have otherwise. This was particularly true
after World War II under the GI Bill, which provided
returning gis with a chance to obtain an education. And
this really contributed to the sort of mobility and the
(04:30):
number of people who left their small town homes forever.
Yet it's only one side of the story, because soldiers
also longed for and missed home. Young men found themselves
on the other side of the world, away from everyone
they knew and everything that was familiar to them. You
also had somewhat older, more established people who entered military
(04:52):
service from a draft or out of a sense of
patriotic duty and missed their families. The Armed Forces radio
SARERVIS created a series called Way Back Home. Each day,
members of the Armed Forces were tuned in to hear
the request answered. Unlike other programs such as Command Performance
(05:12):
or mail Call, these requests were not made to celebrities. Rather,
they were sent to the requests hometown and in some
cases even made to specific people, including family members. A
big question that those who tune in every day had
to wonder about was whether their request would be answered,
(05:34):
or if they would hear something that reminded them of
their own hometown in the answer to another's request. We'll
find out today. What requests were answered on the December
twenty second, nineteen fifty three edition of Way Back Home.

met Paul Hatfield of the Evansville Junior Chamber of Commerce,
(08:54):
who acted as chairman of the j c's hog calling contests.
Listen now as Paul ex flames about the program, and

talents at this hog calling contest.

Voice of Information and Education.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Welcome back. I know some segments may not appeal to
every audience, particularly if that audience doesn't include hogs, but
it really was a fascinating listen and provides insight as
to the type of things that people missed on their deployments.
Of course, while our sense of home is tied to
(21:49):
a physical location, home isn't just a your standing. It's
also about people and events and sounds. And while the
military kerry didn't have all the technology we enjoy today
to connect servicemen to those they left at home, thanks
to the cooperation of local radio stations, they were able
(22:12):
to deliver a small sample of life way back home.
It's time for me to close up the Old Snackwagon,
but don't worry. We'll be back with another serving of
old time radio goodness before you know it. If you

Speaker 2 (00:40):

And now here's your snack wagon host Adam Graham.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Welcome to the Old Time Radio snack Wagon. That song,
released in nineteen eighteen and sung by Nora Bays with
words by Joe Young and Sam Lewis, with music by
Walter Donaldson, was one of the great popular post World
War One songs. Like many of those songs, it enjoyed
(03:45):
a revival during World War Two, and it be sung
by so many legendary musicians such as Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor,
and Dinnah Shoor. It also has an important truth behind it.
One of the great agents of social change in the
twentieth century was military service. So many people served in
(04:08):
the military and were exposed to a different world and
got opportunities they wouldn't have otherwise. This was particularly true
after World War II under the GI Bill, which provided
returning gis with a chance to obtain an education. And
this really contributed to the sort of mobility and the
(04:30):
number of people who left their small town homes forever.
Yet it's only one side of the story, because soldiers
also longed for and missed home. Young men found themselves
on the other side of the world, away from everyone
they knew and everything that was familiar to them. You
also had somewhat older, more established people who entered military
(04:52):
service from a draft or out of a sense of
patriotic duty and missed their families. The Armed Forces radio
SARERVIS created a series called Way Back Home. Each day,
members of the Armed Forces were tuned in to hear
the request answered. Unlike other programs such as Command Performance
(05:12):
or mail Call, these requests were not made to celebrities. Rather,
they were sent to the requests hometown and in some
cases even made to specific people, including family members. A
big question that those who tune in every day had
to wonder about was whether their request would be answered,
(05:34):
or if they would hear something that reminded them of
their own hometown in the answer to another's request. We'll
find out today. What requests were answered on the December
twenty second, nineteen fifty three edition of Way Back Home.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
The Jam.
Speaker 7 (06:02):

Voice of Information and Education.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Welcome back. I know some segments may not appeal to
every audience, particularly if that audience doesn't include hogs, but
it really was a fascinating listen and provides insight as
to the type of things that people missed on their deployments.
Of course, while our sense of home is tied to
(21:49):
a physical location, home isn't just a your standing. It's
also about people and events and sounds. And while the
military kerry didn't have all the technology we enjoy today
to connect servicemen to those they left at home, thanks
to the cooperation of local radio stations, they were able
(22:12):
to deliver a small sample of life way back home.
It's time for me to close up the Old Snackwagon,
but don't worry. We'll be back with another serving of
old time radio goodness before you know it. If you
