The Housewives' Protective League
The Housewives' Protective League, or HPL, was a daily CBS radio program created by Fletcher Wiley that aired from 1948 through 1962 and was hosted by Galen Drake over CBS-affiliated KSFO in San Francisco, and CBS-owned KNX in Los Angeles.

The show highlighted a number of topics pertaining to homemakers of that time, including advice and stories about childrearing, cooking, and irreverent topics and advertised a variety of products pre-approved by a panel of housewives. HPL was produced by Allen Grey, who also produced the show's predecessor, "Coffee Break." The show successfully marketed a variety of household goods, Grey would regularly correspond with popular brands such as Kirsh Beverages Inc, Dover Foods, Inc, and Fairway Foods, among others. HPL was so product-oriented that Drake once said "I'm not a radio star, I'm a partner in a client's business when I get his product to sell"
