Listen to Old Time Radio Programs in MP3 Maybe you know about this, or maybe not, but www.live365.com has about 50 streaming audio Old Time Radio Broadcasts. Membership is free, and tonight I've been listening to the stations "WWII Radio" and "Ultimate Sci Fi". I thought I could stop after Fibber McGee and Molly. Then I thought I could stop after the vintage public service announcement (masquerading as a half hour show) asking all able bodied women to join the WAC and do their part. Then I thought I could stop after listening to Glenn Miller's Air Force Band playing requests from servicemen. Now that I'm halfway through Tom Corbet, Space Cadet, (original Kellogg's "PEP" advertisements and premiums included) I thought maybe you'd like to know about it too.

Re: Listen to Old Time Radio Programs in MP3 First, let me say that I am glad to see you back on the boards, Kitten. I for one have missed you. Living in LA I am sure that you are familiar with the "Drama Hour" on KNX radio. Every night at 9 |

Re: Listen to Old Time Radio Programs in MP3Thanks, Three Piece! I used to listen to the KNX radio programs when I was a kid - wasn't it called Theatre of the Mind or something? - but I didn't know they were playing them again (or it it, "still"?). Thanks! |

Re: Listen to Old Time Radio Programs in MP3Kitten, I can't thank you enough for turning me on to Live365. I am listening to some Glenn Miller as I write this. OOPS! Just changed to a version of (excuse the spelling) Marzi-dotes and Dozi-dotes. Never could spell that title. Anyway, I'm having a great time doing things while listening to some great old tunes! BTW, what I am listening to is Yankeroo from Australia! NEAT!! 8) |

Re: Listen to Old Time Radio Programs in MP3 Yankeroo? I'll add it to my list right away. What search did you use to find it?

Re: Listen to Old Time Radio Programs in MP3There is a menu that is on the screen that allows you to pick what kind of entertainment you want. For instance "Oldies", "Jazz", etc. I think I clicked on Jazz and up came Yankeroo, a name that designates the linage of the guy who manages the site. He is from Lima, Ohio, married an Aussie, and now lives in Australia. He even has a web-cam showing the kangeroos in his back yard! I wrote to tell him how much I enjoyed his site, and I got a e-mail from him today thanking me for the praise and telling me about some up-coming shows: All instrumental, Boogie-woogie, etc. It's definitely worth a look. Thanks again Kitten. I owe you one. |

Re: Listen to Old Time Radio Programs in MP3 Oooooh! Looks good! Now that you mention it, I *do* need to find a few Life of Riley's with Scotty Beckett as Junior. Can't just wait around for those to be played, right? Maybe these guys have it.

Re: Listen to Old Time Radio Programs in MP3
I adore Radio Spirits. In fact, I brought several of their collections along on my Thanksgiving trip to PA. We listened to some of them Thanksgiving Day! |

Re: Listen to Old Time Radio Programs in MP3I believe that I mentioned this in a previous thread, but a few years ago I purchased two boxed collections from Radio Spirits that have brought me many hours of enjoyment. One is called "Radio's Missing Masters". It is a set of unique shows. Sixty selections of audition or premier episodes of popular series. Some are the only existing shows from rare series. I have to admit that there are some shows that I had never heard of, but that is even better. A lot of them are starring big names from the world of radio and the cinema. The second, (also sixty selections)"Old Time Radio's Greatest Shows", are just that: Programs that we all listened to and loved back in the 40's and 50's. Well, some of us anyway. |
