It's been a pretty hectic past week. With my finals fast approaching. Currently its clocking under 24 hours. So during the times when I'm taking a break from Economics and Statistic's I stumbled upon "Old Time Radio" shows. These are shows that we're broadcast from the early 1930's and 1940's. While listening to them I actually found them pretty entertaining.
Its actually a wonder that before the television was a common household item. Families used to gather around the radio in the evening to listen to these broadcasts which we're in the form of series. Much like your common day drama shows. They we're filled with sound effects and multiple actors, and even canned laughter as a connotation of a joke. While these old time radio shows eventually died out, with the emergence of television shows, It's made a return. Not on the radio, but on the internet in the form of a Podcast. Podcasts are more towards the spread of information rather then blunt comedy and action that we're pretty common place aeons ago. Below are some links to a few old time radio websites if your interested in checking them up. I find them a good time killed which exercises the imagination. Hope you enjoy it.
