Evans's weekly broadcasts spanned from its inception in 1929 until his death in 1971.

Evans's voice was familiar to Latter-day Saints as the narrator of various church productions, most notably Man's Search for Happiness (1964 film)/Man's Search for Happiness. He also introduced the Salt Lake City choir's contribution to Bing Crosby's annual "Christmas Sing with Bing" radio broadcasts during the 1950s, and is heard on the 1956 Decca LP of the same name, which featured the previous year's "Christmas Sing" edition.
