Seventy-five years ago on 6 April 1935, Alistair Cooke began a lifetime of broadcasts about the United States, with the first transmission of American Half Hour. The Radio Times said "Mr Cooke will introduce us to the everyday America, about which we seldom hear. With him always in these half-hours will be a small changing army of resident and visiting Americans". The first programme featured the American Ambassador, the Hon. Robert W. Bingham.
