📻 About the programme
Robert Ripley expanded his newspaper-cartoon success into radio during the 1930s. His broadcasts developed a personality-led approach to unusual subjects, including ambitious presentations from remote or difficult locations. The radio work formed part of a wider career spanning books, travel, collecting and exhibitions. These recordings preserve the manner in which extraordinary claims were offered to a popular audience, as well as the entertainment surrounding Ripley’s public personality.

Ripley’s Believe It or Not explores unusual people, places and feats through vintage radio entertainment. This Heritage Radio Vault collection preserves the curiosity-led presentation associated with the familiar Believe It or Not name.
