One my favorite radio shows... Gunsmoke starring William Conrad as Marshall Matt Dillon, Parley Baer as Chester Proudfoot, Georgia Ellis as Kitty Russell and Howard McNear as Doc Adams. Excellent scripts, superb technical productions, top notch acting, and the most popular theme song ever played on radio... and there were some good ones. The track features about 2m 30s brief history of the series followed by "Custer" from Sept 22, 1957 on CBS. This is an Armed Forces Radio Service recording... Thanks for listening.

Track has a brief introduction with information about the "Our Miss Brooks" series followed by an even briefer intro to the 4th of July show from 1949, broadcast on July 3rd... Fourth of July at Eagle Springs... a great Fourth of July comedy! Thanks for listening to Heirloom Radio... and if you like Our Miss Brooks, check our Comedy Playlist for more episodes.

Track features about a 2 m 30 s intro with background material about the series "Crime Classics" then hear "Mr. Thrower's Hammer" from Aug 3, 1953 on CBS Radio Network. These shows are excellent and what makes them very special is that they were authentic in every way possible with the technology that was available 66 years ago. The re-created crimes were thoroughly researched for accuracy. This is a story about a blacksmith who hit more than metal objects with his hammer... Crime Classics... Thanks for listening.

This is the 4th track in my growing "Can You Imagine That" Playlist... featuring amazing stories about Stone Giants, how the Leaning Tower of Pisa manages to stay up, why we greet people the way we do, and Chopin's music for a dog! Can You Imagine That? Well you don't have to because it is all explained in this 1940's radio show designed purely for entertainment in the same spirit of Ripley's Believe It or Not... hosted by Lindsey MacHarrie with time provided for the local radio station to make announcements... so I did! :) Thanks for listening... and we now are heard on 6 different platforms: Itunes, TuneIn, IHeartRadio, Player FM, Podbean, and Google Play Music... search for Heirloom Radio on their podcast list.

This "Ripley's Believe it or Not" type program was simply entertaining and often used for a fill in a program schedule. Lindsey MacHarrie narrates and in this episode we hear about a person who sneezed for 21 days, how history repeated itself several times in Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic and Slovakia since Jan 1, 1993) - How a game turned into being a trap!... and have a little fun with the pauses placed in the track for local announcers to do their thing!

Listen here and on Itunes, TuneIn, IHeartRadio, Podbean, Player FM, and Google Play Music. Thank you for listening!

Welcome to Heirloom Radio... a different kind of oldies program.

Host of Heirloom Radio, John Lovering, gives you a brief introduction to this podcast. Thanks for listening.

Heard on the Mutual Network from 1950-51 in 15 min and 3 min episodes, this was a radio drama series that told stories of phenomena that was never explained, but supposedly true. Lots of organ music and wound effects that help to deep the sense of mystery and dread. The host or narrator was Ken Nordine. Two-back-to-back episodes on this track: Mr. Watt's Awakening and Water, Water, Everywhere... Incredible, but True! Thanks for listening. More of these shows on our growing Playlist by the same name!

Another double episode track of the wonderfully funny Vic and Sade. Written by Paul Rhymer, this show was voted America's Best Show in 1942 with over 7 million listeners per show... five days a week! Yes, it is that good and it is all about the dialog... keep that in mind... the characters are tremendous and the dialog is the hit of the show.

Check out more Vic and Sade in our Playlist by the same name! Thank you for listening.

Episode 10 of Lum 'n Abner consists of two back-to-back 15 min episodes from Jan 31st and Feb. 1, 1935! 84 years ago! Amazing sound quality for that period of radio transcription. First faking an accident... Lum is in bed with 2 broken arms (fake news!), and in the second episode, the boys decide to give up the Matrimonial Bureau and reopen the Jot Em Down Store... but they need to refinance it!
