My Grandma Marion on Queen for a Day (1946)

In 1946, my grandmother appeared on the radio show Queen for a Day, a popular program where women shared their stories on air. While the premise feels outdated now, it was a cultural moment of its time. This audio is a rare recording of her voice—and my mom’s at age 4-ish—and is a small, personal slice of mid-20th-century radio history.
