Noted as the last radio comic to be on-air, Stan Freberg considers himself a "radio buff." Freberg was a voice actor in Looney Tunes cartoons in the 1940s and 1950s and also was a voice in Walt Disney's movie, The Lady and the Tramp. In the late 1950s, he had his own radio show, The Stan Freberg Show, on CBS Radio. Freberg informs us that his very first audience consisted of rabbits and guinea pigs. He also tells Don Swaim in this 1989 interview that he literally walked off the bus in Hollywood and got a job.
