Changing the Schedule

This Sunday, instead of featuring "A Christmas Carol" and "This is My Best" on the Old Time Radio Express, we'll do something a little different and have our Christmas surprise program.  With all of the great Christmas performances during the Golden Age of Radio, narrowing the choices down was hard....I had to remind myself that there's always next Christmas!

New Blog Features - Instant React & Poll Question

As part of the ongoing effort to make the OTR Express more reader-friendly, we've added a couple of new features, including a poll question on the left frame and a chance to log your reaction instantly right below the blog posts.

Who knows... maybe eventually we'll even get some pictures...

Show #4 of the Old Time Radio Express - This Date in History (Shows from December 6th)

I've had a couple of positive reactions to this past Sunday's Old Time Radio Express program, which is nice to hear.  It was a difficult program to put together, as newspaper articles from that far back aren't that easily accessible.  And some of the work was for naught, as we ran out of time for our December 6, 1937 show...

But we do have are a couple of gems, in their own ways.  Enjoy the Whistler and the World Today...

Fun new changes....

You'll see that we've added a poll question to the left column of the blog.  I'll try to get a fresh one out every week.  Our first one deals with one of the most venerable shows from the Golden Age - "Suspense".  A lot of big names turned out in front of the Suspense mics, and you've got a healthy choice of four of them in this week's poll question. 

Vote early and often!

And if you don't like the choices - write-in votes for your favorite stars are accepted!
