===[[Looking Back|Inside Kit's World]]===
Discusses the popularity of jazz and swing music during the Great Depression. Topics covered:

* The success of swing music being it's ability to relate with it's listeners and the upbeat melodies that were able to inspire people during the Depression.
* Families turning to their radios for free entertainment, and the music programs that would invite musicians and bands to play live on the radio.
* The special relationship between jazz music and radios, and the African American musicians who were able to share their music with their listeners and become household names in black and white communities.
* Different dance styles that were developed as the popularity of swing music soared, such as the Shag and the Suzy Q, the Big Apple and the Little Peach, and the Lindy Hop.
* Negative criticisms jazz music received from those who viewed it as 'ugly noise' - even from Thomas Edison, despite the phonograph allowing jazz records to be played within households.
* The suspicions some people had that jazz music promoted such vulgar behavior as close dancing and the demonstration of shameless enthusiasm.
* Jazz remaining as a popular form of music today, with many big cities holding jazz festivals to help preserve jazz and swing music traditions for future generations.
