Among radio comedy's most enduring features were its running gags - and few gags ran longer, or more hilariously, than the legendary feud between two of its great masters: Jack Benny and Fred Allen.

This collection brings together the classic episodes that started it all, to the showdown that was supposed to end it once and for all.
