Alan Scott

December 18, 1909-January 21, 1978

Audio Clips

Because most of Alan Scott's broadcasts were done live, there are very few recorded versions in existence.

Heart of the News: March 29, 1942

This commentary on the ominous war news that cast a continual shadow over American life has lain in the archives of the Library of Congress since World War II.

Once Over Lightly: March 6, 1946

This extremely rare recording was discovered in the holdings of Radio Gold Index. It is listed as follows: "Catalog 19190. Mutual net. Sustaining. Alan Scott with a humorous commentary on the day's events. The Navy has sold a genuine "hole in the ground." A good radio idea."

Scott's First Interview

This recording was taken from a home-made 78rpm vinyl record that was discovered in a family archive. The quality is very poor, but it is the voice of Alan interviewing his young sister, Mitzi, about her interests at school.
