Todd LiebenowHOST
We're gonna be looking at somebody else.
Todd LiebenowHOST
We're gonna take a look at Stan Freberg, who got his start doing voices in animation, but he had a career in many different mediums beyond that.
Todd LiebenowHOST
So we're gonna highlight three shorts that prominently feature Stan Freberg.
Todd LiebenowHOST
Uh, but before we start digging into that, uh, Andy, first I wanna find out, uh, what's your knowledge of, of Freberg going into this? Uh, y- you know, is it mainly from the animation? 'Cause he did a lot of other things.
Andy GouldingHOST
Yeah.
Andy GouldingHOST
I was, I was quite excited to dig into, uh, Stan Freberg, because he's not someone who I, I knew a great deal about, to be honest.
Andy GouldingHOST
I, I'd be interested to hear your, from your perspective, from your side of the pond, because, uh, over here, he's, he's not that well-known a name.
Andy GouldingHOST
I had a bit of a, a check, and he had a few sort of minor hits in the early '60s, late '50s, early '60s time over here.
Alan KatzHOST
Yep.
Alan KatzHOST

George WalshNARRATOR
[instrumental music plays] Rich in comedy, rich in human interest, rich in novelty.
George WalshNARRATOR
That's Rich, starring Stan Freberg, Friday nights on CBS Radio.
George WalshNARRATOR
It's the lively, refreshing stars address situation comedy called That's Rich, which it certainly is, every Friday night on most of these stations.
George WalshNARRATOR
Just you make a date, tie a little string around your favorite chair so you'll remember to listen, and laugh with That's Rich.
Dave ArnoldHOST
You know what I mean? Uh, the weird thing is, is that when I was a kid, my dad used to have me listening to, like, all '50s comedies alb- albums, so I also have all these references that, like, no one knows.
Dave ArnoldHOST
Like I'll just all of a sudden I'll bust out a Stan Freberg reference and people are like, "Who the hell is Stan Freberg?" I'm like, "Go look it up, butthead." That's why I get pissed when young people are like, "That music is so old." 'Cause like, come on, when w- when we were kids, we knew all the music, all of it.
Dave ArnoldHOST
You know what I mean? It wasn't like, you know, "Ooh, music from the '40s, I've never heard of it."
Joe HazenPANELIST
[laughs]
Adam GrahamHOST
Uh, but she, she, she raises a great question.
Adam GrahamHOST
"Towards the end, how about including Stan Freberg's Dragnet parodies? He had three: St.
Adam GrahamHOST
George and the Dragonet, Little Blue Riding Hood, Christmas Dragnet.
Adam GrahamHOST
My personal favorite, I'm in Ohio, and there's a nice geographical joke regarding Ohio cities." Nancy, uh, or Natalie, excuse me, this is a great idea.
Adam GrahamHOST
Um, now what happened with most old-time radio shows, and why they've come into the public domain, is the copyright just was not renewed, um, because there was not commercial value seen in them, um, from the p- from the people who own them, so they lapsed into the public domain.
Adam GrahamHOST
Um, with music, that's never been the case.
Adam GrahamHOST
And if Stan Freberg had any, you know, type of attorney, um, he would, you know His, his copyrights are, I'm certain, extended.
Adam GrahamHOST
So basically, Stan Freberg's stuff is almost certainly still ...
