Sun, 17 September 2006 Radio Journeys is the only OTR program dedicated to the earliest days of radio, with a weekly exploration of radio as it sounded in the 1920's and early 1930's. Each week, we play one full hour of surviving programming from that time, going back as far as possible, piecing together what little remains. This week, we continue through the syndicated serials of 1932: Redbook Dramas, no. 6, "The Goat of Private Hibbs;" the last episode of Si and Elmer, "The Lost Baby and Dog," which is also the last episode of the portion available to most collectors; plus, the next installments of The Family Doctor and Ann of the Airlanes. If you've ever wondered what radio sounded and felt like so long ago, this is your place... a journey to the earliest days of radio. Comments[0] |
Sun, 10 September 2006 This week, a special focus on Si and Elmer. After the first 40 episodes, more recordings of this quirky '30s serial do survive, but they are elusive and harder to find. Host John Grimmett has found them all, and he assesses what survives of the series. Then, into this week's installments of the serials: Redbook Dramas, Si and Elmer, Family Doctor, and Anne of the Airlanes. More pieces to fit into the puzzle... on Radio Journeys. Comments[0] |
Sun, 3 September 2006 We're happy to be back, and we're continuing right where we left off ... with Redbook Dramas, episode 4, "Pass to Peking," a historical radioplay based on a story by Vincent Sheehan. Then, the next installments of the three serials we've been following: Si and Elmer, Family Doctor, and Ann of the Airlanes. Plus... It's the 75th anniversary of a milestone in radio. Take a guess, then listen. Hint? You'll get "just one more chance..."Comments[0] |
