Old Time Radio

I have to confess that one of my biggest regrets in writing this blog is that I have not written nearly enough about Old Time Radio. I was born six months after the era of Old Time Radio ended on September 30 1962. It was on that date that the last episodes of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar and Suspense aired on CBS. That having been said, I discovered old radio dramas during the Old Time Radio Revival of the Seventies when many of them became available on vinyl and cassette. While I haven't written nearly as much about Old Time Radio as I would like, I have written several posts on the subject over the years. Here they are.
