The Hostage

I love to play this Kurt Weitzmann gem on the show!
A lament that I often state while on air is the fact
that they don’t make good comedy sketches like this
anymore, radio is a dying format and skits are made
for a visual medium at this point.
Radio always had a knack for expanding ones mind,
in that a good audio only sketch had a way of making
you visualize the plot, using your own imagination to
fill in the blanks.
There was no need to describe what someone was wearing,
or what color someones hair was or the type of vehicle being
driven, the person listening provided that information.
This is a wacky, funny, irreverent throwback to the old days…
