How are Betty Crocker and Nolan Ryan similar? They're both great at beating batters! Har Har!
Todays episode deals with the woman, the myth, the made up legend herself, Betty Crocker. In our first episode we explain how a jigsaw puzzle lead to Bettys creation and the one woman who was the driving force behind the character at the start. We will talk about her radio shows, tv shows, and how Betty Crocker became known as part home maker, part radio therapist for millions of Americans during the great depression and the rationing of WW2.
Lots more to talk about in this first of two episodes of Oft Off Topic on Betty Crocker.
