Why do familiar habits promise good luck - or warn of bad luck?

📻 About the programme
Recordings are commonly associated with the mid-1930s, though the production is less fully documented than many network series. Its format uses a present-day conversation, a historical or legendary reconstruction and a concluding explanation. The programme presents these accounts as researched origins, but that promotional claim does not independently establish every detail as fact. Heard historically, the sketches reveal how popular broadcasting mixed folklore, education and entertainment.

Origin of Superstition turns popular beliefs into short dramatised radio stories. A conversation introduces a custom, a dramatic reconstruction explores its supposed origin, and an explanation brings the sketch to a close.

📚 Recording notes
Catalogue broadcast date: 4 August 1933.
Presented as a surviving historical recording. Original audio quality varies.
