 "America's Town Meeting" became so popular in the public discourse that during the late 1930s and into the early 40s, Denny wrote a monthly column for "Current History" magazine, in which he gave summaries of the major points made by some of his Town Meeting guests, and then gave readers news quizzes.And educators found it so useful that Denny and NBC put program listings and what the speakers had said into booklet form, which was disseminated to public school civics teachers.Over the years, "America's Town Meeting" became known for its interesting guests, many of whom were important newsmakers.
