Mal Interviews Kids – March 18, 1956

A relaxed radio sit‑down— Mal sat down with some young people to find out what is going on with them – March 18, 1956.

No idea what the point was of this taping. Dad did a TV show with young people called What’s the Answer, but this is a WBBM radio interview. It’s possible that some of the voices were his kids.
