So many listeners asked for, even demanded, that we extend the number of hours dedicated to the old radio shows, that we’ve done just that! Brian Peroff selects, and then describes some of the greatest shows from the golden age of radio — the 1930s and 1940s — like The Shadow and Fibber McGee & Molly. A half-hour of drama, mystery or suspense is followed by a half-hour of comedy — enjoy!

I just love the “Theater of the Mind” program. I make sure I’m all settled in to bed right when it comes on. It’s like my bedtime story before I go to sleep. It makes you forget the pressures of the day and I just relax and fall asleep. I’m not old enough to have heard them when they originally came out( I’m 58),but I can see why they were so popular way back when. I’m from the suburbs of Chicago, so the broadcast fades in and out sometimes, but that makes it even more special when it comes in so clear from so far away in Canada! The mystery and detective series are great, and the comedy of “Fibber Mcgee and Molly” seems like it could have been written in the present time they are so good. I hope your program stays on for a long, long time. Thanks again, Wayne
