Tape #2:

"The Last Great Days of Radio"
Many of the greatest radio drama's & comedies were produced during the late '40's & '50's, a period when TV began to erode radio audiences. Production values were superior, script quality was at an all time high & the great radio actors were at the peak of their game. During this period shows like Gunsmoke, Dragnet, Escape, The Six Shooter, Tales of The Texas Rangers, The Halls of Ivy, Fort Laramie, Frontier Gentleman & Have Gun, Will Travel all made their debut. Meanwhile, great older shows like Jack Benny, Fibber McGee, Suspense & The Lux Radio Theater remained on the air & produced some of their best shows.

Bob & his wife Carol live in O'Fallon, MO. He is an internet marketer & business owner. Bob loved radio dramas and comedies since his boyhood in Southern CA. He currently has about 5,000 shows in his collection. Please join him on his blog at the address below.
