Announcement:

All Things Radio

On Thursday, December 17, 2009, at 6:30 PM EST, the "All Things Radio” 
podcast will be featured in The Fred Bertelsen Old Time Radio Room of 
www.radiooutofthepast.org

“All Things Radio,” was the dream of Bill and Jennifer Sparks and began 
early this year.  The 39 podcasts run thus far are available for download 
from the "All Things Radio" folder at
www.legend-oldies.com

Averaging about an hour in length and at this time  anchored by Michael 
Loft, each podcast features
1. Radio news from Jeff Bennett,
2. Format and call letter changes from Jennifer Sparks,
3. Airchecked samples of radio stations from Bill Sparks,
4. Profiles of broadcasters and podcast contributors from Walt Kramer,
5. And occasional historical features, such as the history of Detroit 's 
WJR.
After each podcast, there's usually close to a half-hour available for an 
informal chat about radio. Anyone who would normally come in for the 8 pm 
Old Time Radio program is welcome to join us for the chat, which is usually 
moderated by Marcia Moses. For that matter, all are welcome to come in at 
6:30 pm EDT and make a night

Bill Sparks currently has three streaming radio channels on line. They
are:
1. The Legend, featuring oldies from the mid '50s to the mid '70s,
2. The Country Legend, featuring classic country music, and
3. Remember Radio, featuring old-time radio shows.
The three radio services operate 24/7, and links to them can be found
At: www.billsparks.org

Also available from www.billsparks.org are links to at least eight thousand 
radio stations that stream their broadcasts on line.

>From another Bill Sparks web site, www.rememberradio.com, thousands of 
old-time radio shows are available for purchase. Customers may either buy 
programs on CDs, or purchase copies of shows that can be downloaded

Radio out of the past

Hello Old-Time-Radio Fans,

What a wonderful time we all had at Joan Leonard's virtual birthday party 
last week. This program is now archived on Radio Out of the Past.
Also, the Bertelsen library files through 29 are also archived on the web 
site.

This week, Joy Jackson is our host.  She will feature the Christmas party 
and shows presented by the American Radio Theater.  Let us see what joy has 
to say about the program.

Just a couple of weeks after the Old-time-radio Marathon (Dec 5-6) on Radio 
Out of the Past.org, a new-time radio marathon will be presented in the Fred 
Bertelsen Old-Time-Radio Room. On Dec 17, Joy Jackson will share the fun and 
frivolities that transpired at the American Radio Theater’s Christmas 2009 
party.

The two branches of American Radio Theater have a special tradition in 
December. The Lexington Kentucky chapter broadcasts a performance to their 
colleagues in Seattle, over the Internet, and Seattle broadcasts a 
performance (or two) back to them.  We celebrate our fifth anniversary of 
broadcasts this year.

On Dec. 17, the unmodified recording of the 2009 broadcast will be played 
into the chat-room, as if it were live. This year, ART-Lexington will 
present a brand new Great Gildersleeve show, written by Mike Wheeler. 
ART-Seattle will entertain with a brand-new episode of Chang Apana, written 
by Joy Jackson, followed by a recreation of Ethel and Albert—“Putting up the 
Christmas Tree”, and we’ll end the session with Vic and Sade—“Rush Shares 
his Plan for Christmas Presents”.  It’s likely to run an hour and a half, so 
we’ll probably be starting about 5:30 pm Pacific (8:30 Eastern).

Be sure to stop by and listen to the fun. Dec 17, www.RadioOutofthePast.org, 
in the Fred Bertelsen Old-Time-Radio Room. If you haven’t dropped in before, 
you’ll need to download some software, so come by a little early. Click on 
the Fred Bertelsen room, and follow the instructions.

See you there!
