Our very first episode and the first of 3 hours of Airchexx. We take a look at the introduction of radio by diving through the Old Time Radio through the Longines Symphonette Society's "Golden Age of Radio" that came out in 1969 starring as Jack Benny and Frank Knight as hosts.

Episode 1, Hour 1, July 1, 2023 - Golden Age of Radio

<b>This Airchecks focuses on radio shows from old time radio to current shows written as plays or when a radio show was recorded. A showcase of radio programming that may have been lost over the decades if it hadn’t been recorded and preserved for future generations. In the radio and television industry, recordings of radio shows were fairly common anywhere from transcription discs for later replay or to make sure a commercial has been played on the air for the salesman to show their client. And sometimes it’s not just audio theatre, it can be music as well. Some items previously aired and some items that were never aired, but recorded. Airchecks is a three hour program that is uploaded into a podcast on Saturdays.</b>
