Despite being largely before our time, the Golden Age of Radio remains a fascinating period in entertainment history. From the 1920s through to the 1960s, radio programming thrilled households across America, with scripted programming, variety shows, and dramatic performances all finding a home on the airwaves. For kids growing up during this era, radio would have been the dominant electronic home entertainment medium, captivating young minds with stories and adventures that could unfold before their very ears. While television would eventually surpass radio in popularity, the legacy of the old-time radio era endures to this day, and we can still tune in to the dramas, comedies, and music of yesterday’s airwaves.
