Aunt Jenny's Real Life Stories was a long-running radio program that aired in America from 1937 to 1956 and in Australia from 1943 until 1961.

In Australia, Ethel Lang (1902–1995) appeared as 'Aunt Jenny' for commercial radio 2UE and narrated each 15-minute episode.

After the story, which was often sentimental or ended on a cliffhanger, Lang would offer the listeners valuable advice and introduce recipes. The program unashamedly targeted a female audience.
