Old Time Radio

Life Boy, Velveeta, and not one oil company. I listen to a bunch of old time radio shows. They leave in the old ads. It is funny what products that have stuck around and which have not. That is not the only source of these old time radio podcasts.

The man who did the voice for Fred Flintstone is in some of those old time radio podcasts. I can't help picturing Fred in my mind's eye. The latest was an episode of “Johnny Dollar”. Never heard of it until these podcasts. There are a couple big names in these shows. There is a world of amazing talent that was on tape sixty or eighty years ago.

The very funny thing is listening to the ads from the podcast people. Really modern things like Roku players and online desktop sharing abound. They make the sound pop and hiss like the original recordings sometimes. It is awesome.
