In your description, when I read the following:

**'when things were slower and families gathered round the radio each evening. Times when each person was hearing the same thing, but created a different picture in their minds of what the characters looked like, the scenery, location, and most important the sounds..'**



It blew my mind!

...Seriously! ! !

I don't need fast-moving tech or video games or social media, all I need is to feel the way you described so succinctly with those words put simply yet beautifully as you did, allowing my mind to conjure up imagery of minds conjuring up imagery hehe. I am but 46 and was not around back in those days of family radio evenings, oh how I would have loved to share such a thing with my family.

This is not a review. I wanted only to say THANK YOU to the people responsible for sharing such a special thing with the world as these shows and best of all your memories of those days that sound so wonderful.

I know. I must be romanticizing a time that I will never quite see or experience the hardships of. Yes, that will be true to a point but isn't it also true that we can romanticize the good parts whilst acknowledging the existence of the hardships too.

I think so.

I know one thing! I would give all my technology away today and trade in my uper-powered beast of a PC, my Samsung tablet and phone and take, in its place, a couple or 3 valve radios. One for the living room, kitchen and bedroom!

Then I'd make new house rules. Certain nights would be radio night. But I would play old time shows on those nights because the cr4p they put out today wouldn't be worthy of sharing with the family. Autotuned lean-sipping morons, no thanks.

The Shadow? YeeeessssSS!



PS. Some of these unknown shows are wondrous! It is great to hear 'new' old time radio!
