Still Missing Old Time Radio

 
I listen constantly to NPR, but it will never quite live up to my childhood memories of listening to the radio with my grandparents. For example: My Friend Irma, which featured a ditzy blonde stenographer named Irma Peterson (played by Marie Wilson) and her logical and dependable roommate, Jane Stacy (played by Cathy Lewis).

I think decided back then to be the sidekick, the sensible one who figured things out, (though I did briefly flirt with being a blonde).
