A few of our current shows only ran one season and we’re rapidly approaching the end of the series. We’re going to leave it completely up to you to decide one of the radio classics that will join our line up. Just recommend a show by commenting below, or emailing Jeff, and you’re entered! How easy is that?!?!?!
At the end of the month we’ll randomly draw a name and not only will you win a copy of the offbeat and enjoyable Hello, Everybody!: The Dawn of American Radio but we’ll also add your recommended show to our weekly schedule!
It’s a great book to win because with clarity, humor, and an eye for outsized characters forgotten by polite history, Anthony Rudel tells the story of the boisterous years when radio took its place in the nation’s living room and forever changed American politics, journalism, and entertainment.
Feel free to recommend as many shows as you’d like all we ask is that you post each as a separate comment (or email) and that you make sure that each request is different.
We’ll announce the winner on August 1st.
