I really like these programs
They're great for learning and these are entertaining as well. The acting that went into it is really something. What impressed upon me the most was the music in the shows: radio programs had orchestras for the music, and they were top-notch musicians. I don't believe even universities or pro orchestra players are as good as they were before.
Lots of good brushing up on history and many nuggets not previously known. Audio quality very good, there was one program where there was quite a bit of interference but it was still listenable.

Potential Dates
Episode 2 mentions the 1937 census and Episode 8 refers to Mother's Day being "next Sunday, May 10th" which lines up with 1936. If the numbering on these tracks is accurate, these episodes begin in March 1936. Dunning lists this show as broadcasting on Wednesday nights before 1938, so the first track here is from March 25th 1936.

A good audio history
Some of the recordings are current but most I've listened too are actual sound recordings as they happened giving us a verbal history. I had no idea that Theodore Roosevelt had made wire recorded speeches, to hear Harding,Taft,and others from the early years of the 20th century is a way of keeping history alive for everyone during our 21st century.

The History of Jim Jones
Canadian radio special report uses original audio recordings and connecting narrative. Exmines the Peoples Temple, the Jonestown massacre and the last few years of the life of Jim Jones. The production really pulled me into the story. Listening enjoyment might be dependent on the listener having at least some basic knowledge of Jones and the Temple. Check the
Jim Jones Wiki for some background info if you didn't live through the news stories. Chilling
