Volume 185: Golden Memories of Radio Record 5

Let’s jump back into one of my favorite box sets from my dad’s collection. We will listen to selections from both sides of the second to last record in this six-disk set.

I have often said I would have loved to have been around in the early days of radio. There was such a pioneering spirit in the way to entertain and inform. I know this technology made the world a smaller place. It was also basically just the newest way to sell the latest product.

So, gather around your home receiver and get ready to hear drama in both the theatrical and athletic forms in Volume 185: Golden Memories of Radio Record 5.
