Bored with all the stuff Hollywood thinks you want to
see? Don’t care how desperate those
housewives are? Couldn’t care less who
gets voted off (Survivor) (Dancing with the Stars) (America’s Got Talent)?
Back before television there was a wondrous thing called
“RADIO”. You sat there and listened to
a story that painted a picture in your mind.
You could SEE the junk in Fibber McGee’s closet, you could SEE Jack
Benny’s Maxwell, you could SEE Superman flying thru the air.
Well, here’s your chance to see with your mind’s eye again
(or for the first time). I’ve uploaded
some old radio shows that you can download at your convenience and listen to on
your computer.
Please email
me if you download these and want me to put up some more. If I don’t hear from you I have to assume
there is no interest in this.
Quiet Please- The Thing on the Fourble Board- a well driller
encounters something really scary from the depths of the earth…don’t listen to
this one with the lights out! http://tinyurl.com/yla23k7
Mercury Theater- War of the Worlds- The most famous dramatic
broadcast ever- October 30, 1938. Many
thought this was really happening. http://tinyurl.com/yhszbun
Escape- The Invader- a high school teacher makes contact
with an alien spaceship on his homemade radio. Stars Howard McNear (Doc on
radio’s Gunsmoke and Floyd the barber on the Andy Griffith Show) http://tinyurl.com/yc4glaw
