About this listen

 Join us for a charming episode of "The Old Time Radio Snack Wagon," as Adam Graham shines a light on the beloved character Betty Lou, brought to life by the talented Tommy Riggs. In this delightful installment, we explore the whimsical world of Betty Lou, a character that captures the innocence and imagination of childhood without the aid of puppetry or ventriloquism.

We begin our journey by reminiscing about Tommy Riggs' rise to fame, starting from his big break on the Rudy Vallee program in New York City. Although we lack a direct recording from that 1937 episode, we share a rare clip from the 1957 special "Recollections at 30," showcasing the enchanting dynamic between Tommy and his young counterpart Betty Lou. Listeners will be treated to a delightful exchange filled with playful banter, poetry, and the infectious spirit of childhood as Betty Lou and Rudy sing "Polly Wolly Doodle" together.
