  • A Great Service

    I listen to a lot of Radio programs from the 40’s and 50’s. Frankly it is the best era of mass entertainment that our country and even the world has known. “Stars own Suspense” does the best job of any I have heard in bringing this era to life. The information provided by the host and the radio plays themselves are great entertainment and they beat out most of the trash that is being broadcast today.
