Advertise on podcast: Archie Andrews | Old Time Radio Comedy

Archie sees a chance to catch an escaped prisoner and impress Veronica. His plan has all the confidence, and all the complications, you would expect. In Nazi POW in Riverdale, a newspaper report sends Archie and Jughead into action. Archie thinks capturing the fugitive will make him a hero. The trouble is that being certain about a suspect is not the same as being right. This 1945 instalment of Archie Andrews combines a wartime premise with the misunderstandings of teenage comedy. Familiar Riverdale ambitions turn a serious-sounding headline into a comic adventure driven by Archie’s eagerness to prove himself. Listen for how the boys interpret what they see, and the gap between their heroic expectations and the situation developing around them. Episode: Nazi POW in Riverdale Series: Archie Andrews Original broadcast: 23 June 1945 Listening themes: mistaken identity, teenage schemes and Riverdale comedy. Presented by Heritage Radio Vault for fans of Archie, Jughead and classic radio sitcoms. Follow Archie Andrews for more family misunderstandings and teenage adventures.
