This show is not available, so the exact nature of the interview is not known. However, Stewart and Frank Capra had just appeared in Information Please the night before and were in New York to promote the opening of It’s a Wonderful Life, so it is likely that the film, and possibly Information Please, were included in the day’s discussion.
The atmosphere at the interview was quite relaxed as can be seen from the photo below showing McNellis and Stewart on the “set” of the radio show.
