Customer Review: The Firesign's devotion to Old Time Radio was evident in much of their work, including a brilliant send-up of "Let's Pretend" on their "Firesign Theatre Radio Hour Hour," but never as obviously as in the Nick Danger pieces.

Customer Review: It was what I needed for my high school public speaking class. The students are able to listen to great speeches. This way they had a reference to what makes an excellent speech.
