Post #168,353 by a6l6e6x 8/9/04 7:03:49 PM Reply	Got to agree with the radio bit. It is a rare event that a TV show comes close to the emotion and involvement of, as you say, "supplying your own visuals" for the radio programs of those days. Of course, some books do that as well.

Post #168,372 by drewk 8/9/04 10:03:05 PM Reply	When I was about six or seven ... My father used to race -- bikes before I was old enough to remember, cars after. When he couldn't score a sponsor, he was a sometime flagman. I spent a lot of Saturday nights in the car on the way to and from one track or another. 610 AM in Philadelphia used to rebroadcast old radio plays Saturday nights at ... midnight? Maybe earlier, but I remember the thrill of knowing I had stayed up past midnight by the fact that I was listening to it. I don't remember any of the shows in particular, but I always loved story time. I'm sure part of it was the sense that this was a show for grown ups that I was allowed to listen to. === Implicitly condoning stupidity since 2001.
Post #168,419 by mmoffitt 8/10/04 9:18:08 AM Reply	I remember my Grandma's "stories". That's what she called them, "My stories". They were 15 minute radio broadcasts of soap operas. I used to sit in her floor and listen to them with her. That 30 minute period was the only time she insisted on absolute silence. Had nearly forgotten about that - thanks. bcnu, Mikem If you can read this, you are not the President.
