A Mind Forever Wandering Old Time Radio

Welcome to A Mind Forever Wandering Old Time Radio (or AMFWOTR for short), a website devoted to the enjoyment of the wonderful but sometimes forgotten magic of radio entertainment. This site is updated every single day including a weekend podcast hosted by yours truly.

My name is Jeff McAleer and I’m a writer and ardent blogger here in Mesa, AZ. I began this site because I wanted to find a way to present old time radio shows for a new generation. I hope you enjoy the time you spend here enjoying fantastic programs from yesteryear!
