We are time traveling again, and it’s back to Christmas Eve of 1945 today, to listen to a lesser known A-tier radio program. "Names on the Land," features Frank Morgan as a train conductor on a fictional journey across America. The show uses the alphabet to highlight the origins of various town names, weaving together anecdotes and historical accounts, as a celebration of the land and humor of the American people. Sponsored by the DuPont Company, the program emphasizes the company's slogan, "Better things for better living through chemistry," while connecting the themes of homecoming and peace following World War II.
