Welcome to the third volume of the Radio Spirits Listener Series.
We've prepared for you a diverse selection of lesser-known programs from the radio airwaves of the 1940s and 50s. From war news to Westerns, from international spies to outer space, from Mercedes McCambridge to Milton Berle, Volume Three of this unusual anthology series brings you an eclectic blend of offerings from the medium's Golden Age - including some rare gems not heard since their original broadcast.
Includes a Program Guide by radio historian Karl Schadow.
With a full week's schedule to fill, radio networks, sponsors, and advertising agencies presented a wide variety of fascinating content of all types during the Golden Age of Radio. A great number of these programs have been lost to time and, in many cases, only limited numbers of episodes - or broadcast fragments - survive.
The Radio Spirits library includes tens of thousands of programs, many of which haven't lent themselves to presentation in their own collections because of limited availability of surviving episodes, or the esoteric nature of the content. There was a lot more to radio than just the big names and the big shows. The Radio Spirits Listener Series will introduce you to some of these lesser-known programs.
