Bob Barry’s Unearthed Interviews Podcast: Charles Correll
For today’s podcast, we step back into the golden age of radio. Yes, radio, that magical wooden box that once entertained America before we all started staring at our phones and arguing with our wi-fi. Today we’re rewinding the clock to when sound effects were made with coconut shells, scripts were held together with hope and caffeine, and one show stopped the nation in its tracks, “Amos’ n’ Andy.” And at the heart of it all was the incredibly talented Charles Correll, the voice of Andy Brown. Actor, writer, producer, sound effects guy and probably if something broke in the studio he might have fixed that too. Charles helped create an era when the only thing streaming was imagination. As one half of the legendary radio duo behind “Amos ‘n’ Andy,” Charles helped create one of the most influential and controversial programs in entertainment history. So, adjust your antenna, mind the static, and let’s travel back to when America tuned in together.
