    1933   The first broadcast of The Romance of Helen Trent was heard. The
    show continued on the air for 7,222 episodes and 27 years. Amazingly,
    Helen stayed 35 years of age throughout the entire series. The show used
    two Helen Trents over the years. The first Helen was played by
    Virginia Clark (for 11 years) and the second by Julie Stevens (for 16
    years).

    1933   During his fourth Fireside Chat, [removed] President Franklin D.
    Roosevelt showed why the homey, warm, comfortable discussion was,
    indeed, a fireside chat. The President stopped the discussion on the air
    and asked for a glass of water, which he then sipped. Newsman Robert
    Trout is credited with coming up with the name, Fireside Chat, because
    of real moments like this.

    1943   Foreign Assignment, was first heard on Mutual. The title role of
    Brian Berry was played by Jay Jostyn, who also starred in another
    popular radio drama, Mr. District Attorney.
