Just in time for the holidays and Black Friday! The five-minute Aunt Jemima Program: proof that in the Golden Age of Radio, “product placement” was not necessary, as the product WAS the show. Of course, since corporations are “persons,” and “persons” have SUCKY memory skills, we may see this kind of entertainment again. After all, commercial encroachment into our minds has already been established; we should be able to accept it better this time around, eh?
