*Old Time Radio Show Resources
I intended to give this subject more space and time, and I will in the future. However, in writing about Burns and Allen during the first week our blog was up, I found myself already mentioning three outstanding resources. Whenever possible, we will call on Bill Bragg, Walden Hughes, and Frank Bresee. Bill Bragg founded Yesterday USA over 25 years ago and, with the help of his wife Kim, still operates it today. All old time radio lovers owe a huge debt of gratitude to Bill. Walden Hughes is a nationally recognized old time radio expert. He hosts three week-end shows on Yesterday USA and is responsible for organizing many old time radio conventions. Frank Bresee has spent over 60 years directly involved in old time radio, either on the air or behind the scenes. His career began when he played the role as Little Beaver on The Red Ryder Radio Show in the 1940s. I look forward to preparing feature articles on each of these individuals in the very near future.
