The show featured a mixture of music and comedy sketches linked by Greg Proops . Sketches parodied old radio shows . The show consisted of two teams , split into " The Americans " and " The British " , and were recorded separately . Sketches covered subjects such as Hospital Radio , the supposed original recording of the Hindenburg Disaster , the shooting of JFK , phone-in programmes , religious programmes , news programmes , among others . Although the sketches were heavily produced to be as realistic as possible , at the end of the mixing process they were then degraded to make them sound like they were found in an old archive
