TELEPHONE ZOMBIES

we had some rain toward the 5 AM time so that ended it pretty much. I guess tonite will be the end.

Some parts of Texas are having floods, while we suffer a draught.

My dad grew up during the Radio Days and tried to get my brother and I to appreciate radio over TV. It worked with me, not so much my brother. We also used to listen to a show called "Suspense." It featured dramatizations of stories by authors like Ray Bradbury. Scared the hell of me when I was 6 or 7. The best part of NPR are series like "This American Life" and "Radio Lab."

if you dial up WAMU (dot org), out of DC, they play old time radio every Sunday evening from 7 to 11. EDT

Did you know WAMU used to be Washington Mutual Bank?

Last time I checked, many of the old radio programs were also on youtube.

The"Big Broadcast" is a collection of radio dramas and comedies from the 40', and 50's. These are always complete shows nd the "BB" ends up with an hour long drma from some of the best radio seris, like SUSPENSE, Radio Mystery Theater, Radio Classics, nd Inner Sanctum.

Ive taken to working on my pintings usually on a long Sunday night annd have the radio (via the Wifi) providing me some audio entertainment.

The University of Delaware has a good strong signal radio station (We re only about 55 miles N of the U of D and they have some really good jazz and blues on FM. Im sure they have a good signal.

I believe most college radio stations are PBS affiliates. Id love to check out other college radio tations throughout US and Canada. (I do listen a lot to CBC St John via puter)

Here's a link to youtube's 40s and 50s shows. You have to cut and paste:

I'm afraid you'll have to copy and paste it to your browser. I can't seem to find any other way to do it.

That pinterest link was just a bunch of stock photos , no links to any programs.
I was aware of youtube collections (They are kind of limited). I was hoping I could fin a nice collection.
I was especially interested in SUSPENSE

neat!. I think I read all of the Nero Wolfe books and came very very close to joining one of those Nero Wolfe beer clubs.
Id probably be some 65 year old, basement dwelling gamer had I done it.

THANK YOU THANK YOU

Thanks!

You're welcome

I found them on youtube (it's all about the right keywords eh)

I worked in Montreal and I was very much surprised how much air time was given to radio plays and spoken word. I still listen to CBC online, and wish we had something like it here in Texas.
