"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.

The Best Of Yesterday USA #97*
From Prescott, AZ, Lynn brings you a very special tape each two week period. Our dear friend Cliff Caplinger recorded these tapes starting in 1993. Cliff provided the blank tapes each period to record the shows to use on the air from the DJ's. Bill Bragg then sent them back to Cliff and he put them in his tape library. Cliff died of cancer and Lynn Noyes made arrangements with Cliff's dear friends and care-givers to pick up these tapes and re-play them again on the air. You will hear our DJ's from the past along with Bill and the going's on of the day. You can hear how we have evolved over the years into what we are today - a true "Super Station" of friends and family entertainment! We are sorry but any offers mentioned in these recordings are no longer available. This show is loving dedicated to Cliff Caplinger.
