During World War II, about 16 million people from all walks of life served in the U.S. military. This number included many of the top celebrities of the day – so much so that historians often refer to the period as a time when “Hollywood went to war.” Stars like Clark Gable and Jimmy Stewart famously joined the military – as did many others in the entertainment industry. Some fought on the front lines, while others were placed in positions to use their industry talents to help the U.S. military with training, propaganda, morale, and public relations. The great big band leader Glenn Miller was part of this later group. To discuss Miller’s military service and the latest research on his disappearance, the MacArthur Memorial Podcast hosted Dennis M. Spragg, author of Glenn Miller Declassified and Senior Consultant for the Glenn Miller Archives at the University of Colorado Boulder.

Hear the history of our area's most storied landmark and song, as we take you down the sidetracks of The Chattanooga Choo-Choo.

As the trombonist who got run over by Cal’s Kevin Moen at the end of The Play--the epic, five-lateral kickoff return that decided the 1982 Big Game--Gary Tyrrell has spent decades recalling his place in football history. He does that here, expansively and hilariously, and so much more. From Stanford band transgressions to over-the-top pranks to killer Grateful Dead shows to an unmatched case of the Sunday Scaries, Gary hits all the right notes.

As a little boy, Rocky Birely sat at the feet of his father as he performed. Fast forward to adulthood and Rocky is leading the band that his father began in the early 1960s - the Ray Birely Orchestra - while keeping the spirit of his father and the music he loved alive. With his personal stories of Glenn Miller, Doris Day, Hank Mancini and even Art Garfunkel, Rocky talks about his musical journey from big band to Motown and everything in-between.
