When Radio Was returns us to a time when families huddled around the radio, listening intently as their favorite voices wafted through the air creating vibrant pictures that turned into vivid movies in the mind. The power of theatre of the mind appeals to everyone. To step inside the body of Sam Spade, be saved by the Lone Ranger, or share the stage with George Burns and Gracie Allen transports the listener into what is truly unique about the radio experience.

These shows featured the top stars of every existing medium during a time when being heard on the radio was the top rung on the ladder of fame. Cary Grant, Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra and others used radio as a creative outlet to showcase their vast array of talent. Legendary characters from Dragnet, The Shadow, Superman and many more were born on the radio and it’s as exciting listening today as it was then—even the commercials are entertaining! Plus, all the programs used in When Radio Was have been digitally remastered to ensure optimum audio quality.
