Old Time Radio
Every Monday morning at 10am PST, I will be on the air at CJLY playing my favorite selections of programs from the golden age of radio, the 1930's and 40's. There will be some music but mainly I will be replaying comedy, variety and drama from that era.
Almost all of the material I will be rebroadcasting can be found at various sites on the internet. The biggest one I've discovered is Internet Archives - Old Time Radio , a wealth of radio shows from the 1930's right up to the 60's and 70's.
Don't worry if you miss the live broadcast, a copy of this weeks show will be posted here every Monday evening. You can sit back and replay it whenever you feel the need to relax and smile. Unfortunately I only have enough web space for one episode at a time. If you'd like to listen to previous shows then simply drop me a note and I'll get it to you somehow.
By the way I am always looking for thoughts and ideas of old time radio shows and performers to replay during my hour on CJLY. If you have some favorites in mind please let me know.
