The audience for old time radio shows is very small and tends to consist of listeners who are much older. It's a shame really because it feels like this vintage form of entertainment is being forgotten. I'm familiar with Hazbin Hotel (in fact I've seen a few episodes so I know who Alastor is) and I'm glad that a form of modern story telling has brought you to this small hidden corner of youtube. I hope you grow to enjoy this vintage form of story as much as I have.
Turn off my Tv right now closing my eyes sitting back in my chair just imagining listening to radio in 1930.I feel like I'm back in the 1930s.Thanks for posting😊
It is SO RARE to hear radio shows from the early 1930's! All I ever seem to hear are programs from the 1940's and 1950's! Thanks so much for putting this on UA-cam!
Yeah bro you guys can google how to get Adblock. It only works nowadays like 65% of the time but it’s better than nothing. Take you about a half hour to learn it and once you’ve got it you’ve got it!
My favorite character brought me here! I came here to understand how he lived his life in 1930's and the peak of the radio. Thank you for this uploader
My grandparents were the parents of those kids... the last granparent died just 15 years ago; my parents (still living) were the kids listenng to "Tarzan" and such.
My mom and dad didn't marry till latter in age - my dad was born in 1912 - He would talk about the family listening to the radio shows - also up till the 70s you could still hear all the old radio programs on clear chanel radio stations in the US - also on world wide short wave stations - During WW2 they broadcasted live from the different fronts - even as bomb runs were made - at times a reporter was on a B-17 broadcasting there bomb drops over Germany live -
Even if it’s an advertisement. They put real work into that unlike the sponsors and ads now… I also just love the transatlantic accent with the old radio sound.
Radio Days by Woody Allen brought me here. It's so magical movie, and made me feel nostalgia for those old times, even through I've never lived then. It's almost mystical feeling!
1:53:01 KFI AM640 out of LA. Wow, what a welcome treat. I've been listening to KFI for the last 40 years but I've never heard any of their broadcasts from this far back, until now. Thank you so much!
The debut episode of Coca-Cola Top Notchers is one of the earliest experiments in long form Transcription Discs which were much thicker than what would become the 33 and 1/3 LP Albums. Each side would play up to 30 minutes of music and spoken word. The recordings for this and the show that followed, featuring another retired athlete, Pro Golfer Stuart Mavin, were made at radio station WEEI in Boston, one of the charter NBC Stations.
Thanks so much for including so much detail here. This is really important stuff to have preserved and accessible. Some of it is questionable, but authenticity needs to take precedence in an artifact such as this. I'm working on a biography of someone who lived through this decade - even though I can't say she listened to these programs or ads or songs, getting a feel for the casual entertainment of the day is valuable. Thank you for making this available to us.
Oh what a wonderful feeling to glimpse into the past. It feels so humbling to realize this was only 100 years ago... Baffling really. I'm happy to have my ears listen to this peice of time. I really do love the music of this time. That quality of radio is just amazing I can listen to for hours!~
A sleeper---THE sleeper in this set is at (41:30): The Canada Dry Program (is that a clever title, or what?) presents GEORGE OLSEN AND HIS MUSIC, with Miss ETHEL SCHUTTA (pronounced shu-TAY), star of so many productions that were totally rad in 1932, and a wholly unknown entertainer whose audition show this was, a guy MC'ing who went by the name of Jack Benny. You hear here what was literally his first=ever appearance behind a microphone. Odds of anything at all in that time having been both recorded AND preserved are infinitesimal. The Canada Dry show fizzed but briefly and the entry here is unremarkable---but that Benny guy passed the audition: a spotter at NBC liked the MC, and wrote "We believe Mr. Benny is excellent for radio . . . would make a great bet for an air program."
Gotta love how media sparks interest and curiosity in us younger generations to see what our elders saw. Or heard. (Cough cough HAZBIN cough ALASTOR cough)
@Dakota_mota I know . . . Wow! If you take into account More's law then there will be 2 or 3 hundred years worth of change in 94 years as took place over the last 94 What will it BE like 94 years from now in? In 2118 🌎 It would be the equivalent of someone from 1630 going to 1930. WOW!
This is so interesting! - I'm trying to find possible recordings from CFCA radio Toronto (existed 1922-1933), in particular a specific broadcast from March 1931... And chance you *miiiiight* have any lead on whom to contact? (Not sure if those were even recorded)... Thanks for any insight and sharing this valuable content.
You can tell the baseball player in the interview is reading... and he has the same accent as my grandma did, and I can't help but wonder if there was a dialect being taught in the schools that wasn't transatlantic? My grandma was from Fallston, north Carolina. No reason she would sound like him. Thoughts?
The Chase & Sanborn Hour embodies an irony: Had there been any appreciably large number of additional radios, the program might actually have killed the coffee brand and perhaps the whole radio industry. The applause at (2:20:00) is of an auditorium filled with sufferers just set free. Eddie Cantor is a bouquet i don't scent happily. Listen as i've tried, i never saw the charm. The Beau Brummel show, following, sets me to fierce impatience. Long exposure to American "public broadcasting" lifts of BBC and other Britstuff from the pretension they famously began pumping out with the speed of laser cookie-cutters after hitting stride later in the 20th Century immunized me against Britophilia; Beau Brummel has all the elements & the possibility not another episode of Beau Brummel exists anywhere in the world fills me with relief. Speaking again of irony, it's wonderfully appropriate, and i loosened the straps on my own overalls therefor, when Lum and Abner blow in at (2:50:00) to replace the aristocrats with good ol' hickery. Radio was said to be capable of bringing high culture to the masses. For a couple of decades or so starting soon as radio got viable, pedants made big show* of putting big helpings of flavors Jane and John Everypersyn didn't want, "down" where to publics' eternal avoidance the pedants have always condescended. North America's bloodsuckers CBC (Canadian Blah-Blah Cadre) and NPR (National Panhandler Radio) are the snooty-tooty "entitled" heirs of "Beau Brummel" and all of its era that made people get up and do something else till Lum 'n' Abner or, later, Duffy's Tavern came on: if you have something non-viable, get government to mandate it. * Pun intended.
How the Coca-Cola Top-Notchers weren't bigger than, say, The Bertles, Si Viscous, or Elton Costello, i can't understand. But as a frequent listener to OTR, allow me to point out more than passing similarity between the Coke brothers' "My Sweeter Than Sweet" (8:00) and the later '30s' "White Sails". Any lawyers in the audience here?

The radio actually had quality back then the music was excellent the stories were excellent!!! but radio nowadays radio is nothing but garbage and sleazy!!!! whatever happened to those days when radio was actually entertaining and had clean entertainment and was good, with good music good entertainers good everything??? Music and radio nowadays is totally crap.
A handful of companies now control the airwaves. A corporate board produces the playlists. You don't have professional DJ's anymore, they just up bad comedians who throw out lame jokes and push a play button. New acts were made or broken by actions of individual DJ's who would listen to new music and choose to put something new out for the public to listen to. Some bands would had never been a thing had a DJ not decided to give them a play somewhere in the country. But now its all down to a small group of powerful people at the companies who bought up all the radio rights in the country.
Nostalgia for a time never lived in.
But it's able to be felt.

The beauty of the transatlantic accent
You know your stuff!
I can agree that the transatlantic accent is a great accent. I like it so much that I try to use it every day when I’m out in public.
Thank you for providing this to us. It is wonderful.
This is so fun! Thank you for sharing this!! ❤️ It’s fun to have on while I work.
Different music, different trends, different culture from today. But the people stay the same.
the music isnt that different then alot of stuff 2 3 decades later it just had a wider frequency range and hq
