The House I Live In
by
Everything for the Boys is a wartime radio variety program hosted by comedian and actor Bing Crosby. Its mix of entertainment and service-minded material reflects the effort to bring lighthearted diversion to listeners while recognizing the experiences of people serving during World War II.
The program combines comedy, music, and guest appearances in a variety-show format. Crosby’s relaxed hosting and familiar singing voice provide a thread through the different segments, while the title’s focus on “the boys” points to the servicemen at the heart of its wartime setting.
With its blend of humor and popular entertainment, the show offers a snapshot of radio’s role in wartime life: a welcoming, accessible program that could entertain a broad audience while keeping service members in view. This recording is identified as “The House I Live In.”
