We love old radio shows, they’re neat to listen to and educational!

Some of the shows we’ve enjoyed:

• Historic speeches and events
• Stories of inventions and discoveries
• Westerns -Gunsmoke, Bonanza
• Mysteries
• Family Shows -Father Knows Best
• Classic fiction dramatizations
• Old Children’s shows -Buster Brown
• Adventure shows -Challenge of the Yukon
• Science Fiction -Adventures of Superman
• even I Love Lucy!

There are many places on the web where you can listen to old radio shows online, or download them to your computer -and because they’ve passed into the public domain, they’re free!
