Written 2014
Most might think that
listening to 1950s and 1960s crime and sci-fi radio shows to be a little
odd or bizarre (afterall we have television, DVD, X-boxes,
Playstations, etc...) - and pehaps a hobby that should be left to the
older generation who
almost relied upon this entertainment throughout childhood
and adolescence (and of course the parents, who were
also fans)....but
for me I cant agree - OTR is just as entertaining now, here in the
21st century. I began listening to
some old shows broadcast on BBC Radio 5, before it moved to 24
hour sport, and of particular (personal) note were the shows 'Box 13' (Adventure
series starring Alan
Ladd) and' X Minus One,' a sci fi radio show which could be best compared
to the modern day X Files. As soon as Radio 5 moved
to 24 hour sport the shows ceased to be broadcast - and for a while I forgot
about them....
However my memories of the
shows have lived on, and thanks to the World Wide Web
I have been able to revive my interest, and if anything
it has expanded. This
section will review some of those programme's/shows, and it is
my hope that in the future I will be able to add to
those shows I have already put online for others to
listen to and enjoy....
