There is an essay about 1960s radio in Tom Wolfe’s The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby that briefly mentions Mad Daddy. “… in walks a young man wearing a crease-top hat, of the genre known as the Madison Avenue crash helmet and carrying an attache case. He looks like an account executive on the 5:25. He sits at a table studying a script. His name is Pete Myers. Suddenly he leans into the microphone and says “It’s 10 P. M. and now, from the Sponge Rubber Hall - it’s Mad Daddy.”
