Description:
The official magazine of Kansas City's WHB radio station, SWING printed far more than the station's schedule (which, as the title SWING suggested, relied heavily on music). From 1945 to 1953, SWING offered readers something eclectic every month -- profiles of entertainers on one page, discussions of citizenship in the postwar world on the next, with write-ups of nightlife offerings in KC, Chicago, and New York mixed in. WHB spent decades lobbying the FCC for clear channel status; the magazine's ambitious scope may have been part of the station's attempt to legitimate itself. But it was SWING'S first editor, Jetta Carleton, who later wrote a celebrated novel, that gave the magazine its distinctive style. -- Eric Hoyt, 2015

It's a motley and composite brainchild contained within these pages. But hairlipped or halt — it's ours; therefore we (to paraphrase Mr. Browning only slightly) love it! We hope you will, too. May we. with natural parental pride, point out some qualities of our progeny? Observe, if you please, that it can cut a rug, listen to longhair, discuss intelligently and at first hand such topics as Russia, jazz, freedom of speech, the White House, film celebrities, and Mr. Lincoln; that it is on speaking terms with the better places not only in the home town, but also in Chicago and New York; that Cheesecake is its favorite dessert, but that it also has an appetite for the simple and the nourishing, that it feeds upon the milk of human kindness, reads its Bible daily, and remarks upon the little goodnesses of people roundabout. These things we hope you'll notice. But most of all, we hope you'll just plain like it — for whatever reasons of your own. And humbly — if with some pride — we ask: May we present Our Second?
