   Hi Randy I guess I’m that Virginia listener. I thought $50 was a small price to pay for the service you are providing. First Generation Radio Archives started out by giving the OTR fan access to unusual programming through their round robins, but their initial model seems to have fallen by the wayside. To my mind you have filled the void they left. Hope you’ll be able to continue your exemplary work.

• About This Blog and Podcast

  This blog and podcast features recordings of unusual and esoteric original 16" radio transcriptions from my personal collection - shows that aren't widely circulated among OTR (old time radio) collectors. If you have 16" transcriptions, you're interested in selling, particularly syndicated shows from the 1930s and 40s, please email me. You can also visit my home page to learn about my other interests at http://www.coolcatdaddy.com.

• What's a Transcription?

  Transcriptions were used from the 1930s through the 1950s to distribute syndicated radio shows to stations. They're 16" discs, usually made of vinyl like modern records, but sometimes pressed of thick, heavy shellac, like a 78. The discs hold a maximum of 15 minutes per side. For playback, they require a special turntable and a wide-groove 78 needle, along with proper equalization for proper reproduction on modern equipment.
