Episode notes
We continue our journey into The Sound of Young America’s vast audio archive with this program from The Sound of Young America Classics.
This show is all about summer, and fun, and how the two really just go hand in hand. First, we adjudicate the New Sincerity Summer contest, in which listeners offer up their favorite summer activities.
Then we talk with Mike Veeck, minor league baseball empresario, son of baseball Hall of Famer Bill Veeck, and author of Fun is Good. Mike talks with us about some of the promotions he’s concocted, like “Disco Demolition Night” and “Mime-O-Vision.” He also tells us about his son, who he has named “Night Train.” Seriously people, this man is dedicated.
