[Req] Where to Capture "The Magic of Radio"

FrCrilly

Hi All,

I’ve recently looked at the film “Radio Days” in which the main theme is “The Magic of Radio” ie the imagination created for the listener by actors and sound effects people in a studio. I’ve also recently looked a “War of the Worlds” documentary detailing the effect radio had on certain people’s lives back in the 1930’s.

In this modern world of internet and pod cast downloads, I’m interested in doing whatever I can to capture the magic of radio. Can I ask any enthusiasts out there the following:

Where, in the entire English Speaking world, do you recommend I download stuff like radio plays, comedies or other shows that were made in recent years. Also, any recommendations of specific radio pieces that capture the magic of radio will be of interest.

Also, is it possible to download vintage radio pieces (eg War of the Worlds) from the “Golden Age of Radio” (1920’s to 1950’s). Yet again any specific recommendations that capture the era would be of interest.

Any help with the above would be greatly appreciated. Thanks In Advance for all responses.
