The announcements were transferred from an original vinyl RCA Thesaurus transcription, matrix number E1-MM-1741.

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.

DMCA and Copyright Notice

The programs presented on this blog appear to have fallen into public domain. I've attempted to ascertain any copyright claims through web searches and other research prior to posting the materials. If you are a representative of a copyright holder for one of these programs and wish it to be removed, please send me an email that includes the title of the series, name or number of the episode, area of claimed ownership (ie, copyright ownership of the series, copyright claim over original script, etc) and your contact information if there are any questions. I can also provide an archival high quality professional level digital copy of a program to qualified copyright owners for their own archives. I'm interested in helping preserve radio history and inspire new interest in this area, not in harming the intellectual property rights of any valid copyright holders that still have commercial outlets for their work.
