Old Time Radio On New Fangled MP3 Players

By Old Time Radio Shows

We genuinely hopes that you have as much fun listening to the great radio shows we bring you as we do in finding and researching them.


Most of the us were born well after the golden age of radio. All of us  are "television babies", so the image of sitting down in the living room, waiting for the tubes of the big console radio to warm up is an image we can only imagine. (The Cat did share memories of napping happily over the warm tubes, but he wouldn't say how many of his nine-lives ago that was.)


Most listeners enjoys old time radio shows from MP3 files played on the computer of through their iPods or other mp3 storage and mp3 player devices. Smart phones and most Feature phones will have mp3 play-back and storage, so enjoying your radio shows were ever and when ever you want is easier than ever. The problem is just a matter of learning how to load your radio shows into your mp3 player.


Actually, the process is a very simple one that a twelve year old can do. (To be honest, for a long time I bribed a 12 year old to load my programs for me!) Begin by placing the mp3 disk that you received from Old Time Radio in your computer. Plug your player into one of your computer's usb ports using the cord supplied with your device (some feature phones don't include the cord, but you should be able to find one that will fit at an electronics store). The file for your device's play-list should open automatically, simply copy the shows from the disk menu into the player menu and that's all there is to it! Protect your device by clicking the "Safe to remove device" button, and you are ready to take your favorite shows where ever you go!


Another piece of advice-many listeners have always hated the cheap ear-buds that come with most players. He recommends spending less than $20 (there are more expensive available) to get a good set of silicon tipped noise-reducing ear buds. The clarity of the actor's speech and the subtleties of the sound effects are part of the experience you may have never known you were missing!

Candy Matson Old Time Radio Show

By Old Time Radio
Candy Matson  was no GIRL detective...she was all woman. Candy Matson was a response to all the hard-boiled detectives on the radio like  Jeff Regan ,  Rocky Fortune ,  Pat Novak , and all those  other detectives  who were beaten up on a regular basis. Candy, played by Natalie Parks, was  hard-boiled  in her own way. She never compromised her femininity but she did know how to use a gun and didn't hesitate to use when it was necessary. She didn't take any guff from the guys--the good guys or the bad guys. With a snappy comeback, she could take anybody's head off. Candy was fearless, never hesitating to go wherever she needed to solve a case from the lowest dive to the classiest night club. Candy worked hard to get her goon. Men orbited around her like she was the sun. Her best friend and partner in detection was Rembrandt Watson, a flamboyant photographer. All private detectives need a police detective foil and, in...

Old Time Radio: Spies and Espionage

By Old Time Radio
Old time radio featured many spy-themed shows , which were popular during the Cold War era . These shows often depicted heroic spies and agents who worked to protect their countries from enemy spies and espionage, adding to the cultural fascination with the world of espionage and intrigue during this time.

A Clown Laughs and Cries: Red Skelton

By Old Time Radio
  The Clown is one of the most traditional and enduring elements of show business. There are several vital characteristics which add up to define just what a clown is. One of the most important is that under the makeup, the clown is very often laughing on the outside while crying on the inside. America's favorite clown, Red Skelton typifies laughing and crying at the same time. Few performers have given as much to bring happiness to their audience, especially while living through their own personal tragedies. Joe Skelton had performed as a clown with the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus, but settled down to life as a grocer, and sired four sons with his wife Ida Mae. Joe was taken from his family two months before his youngest son, Richard Bernard Skelton, was born in 1913 (the same year, the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus lost 8 elephants, 8 performing horses and 21 lions and tigers when the Wabash River flooded). Richard soon became Red Skelton . With no father, Red went to work early to hel...
