Description:

"Old Time Radio" is a show dedicated to the Golden Age of Radio, a period of radio programming lasting from the early 1920s until television's replacement of radio as the dominant home entertainment medium in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

During this period, when radio was dominant and the airwaves were filled with a variety of radio formats and genres, people regularly tuned in to their favourite radio programs. Erin Radio is proud to bring you many of the great programs from radio’s Golden Age.

You’ll hear:

* Hilarious Comedy classics such as Fibber McGee and Father Knows Best
* Intriguing Detective stories such as Sam Spade and Nero Wolfe
* Drama that you can lose your self in such as Lux Radio and Dr. Kildare
* Juvenile adventure stories including Speed Gibson and Tarzan
* Entertaining Quiz Shows like You Bet Your Life and Information Please

* Edge of the seat Thrillers including Suspense and Quiet Please
