Vintage Radio
Old Time Radio, or OTR as it is called, is a passion of mine. For thirty years or so in the middle of the 20th Century, a tremendous burst of creativity, technology, and storytelling was delivered directly to the imagination of the listener, the best possible stage of any performance. The BBC still does this, but the Golden Age of American radio is over, alas. Fortunately, Radio Spirits and a few other companies keep it alive.
