Our Presenter for this week is a dear friend, danny Goodwin who will be playing his tenth Commercial Corner for us. Let us see what Dannny has to say about his presentation

Hello Bob:

Now that we have finally got rid of the winter season (at least on the calendar), I have another COMMERCIAL CORNER program ready. This is actually a repeat of the first COMMERCIAL CORNER I presented concerning the changes of the radio commercials during the golden age (titled “Radio Commercials 1920’s-1960’s-Another Look”. The only difference is the material I’m using is different from the first, and I hope a little more polished.

Thank you.

Danny Goodwin

Our Presenter for this week is Matt Cox who will be playing some great shows. Let us see what Matt has to say about his presentation.

It’s been a long time since Cruising the Classics has been heard and
I’m pleased to say that it will be nice to be back March 31st in the
Bertelsen Room at 9 pm Eastern 6 pm Pacific. This week we’ll be
looking at the NBC University Theater again and from April 9 1950
we’ll be listening to “The Nazareen,” by Shalom Ash. The Book was
written in 1939 and tells the story from three different prspectives
of the last days of Jesus. The book was originally written in
Yiddish and with some masterful work done by Ernest Kenoi is well
translated and preserved.

Our Presenter for this week is Joy Jackson who will be playing some great shows. Let us see what Joy has to say about her presentation.

Thursday March 24
For something a little different, Joy Jackson will share a couple of episodes from a program she recently got trapped in, from those folks at the BBC. It’s The Last Resort. We’ll take you to Africa and Zimbabwe, the place once called Rhodesia. She’ll follow that up with a couple of ART recreations of Vic and Sade.

Our Presenter for this week is John Beaulieu who will be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with us. Let us see what john has to say about his presentation.

Hello once again, It’s time for another What Once Was Radio. On this particular day we are all irish in our own way. With the help of Lux Theater we will celebrate St. Patrick’s day with a good friend of all of us, Dennis Day. The show is Top Of The Morning.

Our Presenter for this week is Robert Acosta who will be playing to great shows from The Black Museum, starring orson Wells for us this Thursday evening.

This time on Rotten Ricky At The Radio it’s a sister act. Actually it’s a double Singleton. Penny Singleton leads off our presentation as Blondie, a character she virtually owned in movies, television and, of course, radio. After visiting the Bumsteads, an early example of what today we would call a semi-disfunctional family, we turn to sister Doris whose career was mainly in movies, but there was a smattering of radio roles. We’ll hear her in one of our favorite police shows, Broadway Is My Beat. So what di you say we get together for some silly fun and then some good drama? You know we’d miss you if you’re not there.

Our Presenter for this week isJohn Beaulieu will be commemorating Black history Month along with Presidents’ Day as he plays to great shows for us this Thursday evening.

Our Host for this week is Joy Jackson. Let us read what she will be playing for us.

Did you know there were other radio shows in which African Americans were portrayed as someone other than a valet, like Rochester in Jack Benny or a maid like Birdie in the Great Gildersleeve? Although both of those characters were firmly in charge of their situations. In honor of Martin Luther King, whose day we celebrated this month, Joy will share a couple of shows based on American history that will really surprise you. And she will share a special story. Come have a listen.

Hello and happy new year,
Yes, another year is here and “What Once Was Radio,” is still around. This week we will hear about a report card, and a circus outing.
