Old-Time Radio
In the decades between World War I and the sudden popularity of television in the 1950s, radio had its heyday. Like audiobooks today, the old-time radio programs often dramatized novels and short stories, in addition to putting on comedy sketch shows, variety shows, live music, news analysis, serial dramas and Westerns.
Radio Spirits (www.radiospirits.com) brings a little piece of the “Golden Age of Radio” to your truck cab with its restored and remastered old-time radio programs on audio cassette and CD. Free old-time radio shows also are available for download at www.radiospirits.com/freeshows.
The Radio Spirits library consists of more than 60,000 licensed radio and classic video programs, which include vintage comedy, mystery, detective, adventure and suspense programs. Here are a few of our favorites:
