I prefer to listen to these old, classic radio shows to watching a television. The pictures are better! There are so many thousands upon thousands of these classic radio shows of all genres, dating from radio's early days of the 1920's, through their final days in the 1970's. That's 50 years' worth of shows! (As I grew up in the 1970's, I often listened to the "CBS Radio Mystery Theatre," hosted by E. G. Marshall. It was my favorite radio show at the time!) These shows aired on CBS, NBC's Red and Blue Networks (ABC didn't appear until the 1950's), and other radio networks no longer in existence, such as the Mutual Broadcasting Network (MBS) and the Yankee Network. I hope more people will discover and listen to these old radio shows. They deserve to be preserved for posterity and handed down to the next generation of listeners. If we do this, old radio will never die! 📻
This is to be expected at times. Many of these shows were transcribed from 78-rpm discs, wire recorders, 16-⅔-rpm extra-long-play talking records (1950's) and early reel-to-reel tape decks. Occasional variations in speed from then to now can't always be compensated, even with modern equipment. Also remember that line voltages back in those days were generally lower than today, and this can also cause variations in speeds and audio quality. Sometimes speeds can be adjusted and recordings cleaned up. But there's one important drawback to doing this -- the ambiance of the original recording can sometimes be destroyed in the process. Preserving that ambiance can be just as important as preserving the original content.
I remember watching them on tv in the 70's . 1948 thats when my parents were married 🤗
Maybe it was the 60's ???
I can't believe I'm listening to a radio on my computer!! :o)

I love old time 📻 radio. Shelly k
Love Blondie and Dagwood. First time listening to the radio program. Wish the speed on this was correct though. Thank you for your postings
Change speed in player to 1.25X
Seems a little slow.. their voices seem lower and slower.
