About Classic Radio Theater

Hudson River Radio's own Big Jim Wheeler is thrilled to share his personal collection of classic radio shows from the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s! Jim grew up on a farm in upstate New York, where TV shows were scarce, and where radio was king. It was a time where families would gather around the radio to hear the latest episode of their favorite shows.

Well, he could see I had him there, because by the time he named everybody that's running, it'd be way past supper time for both of us. Oh, am I boring you, kiddo? Not at all, dearie. I love to hear men talk politics. You do? Yes. They always seem so childish it brings out my motherly instinct. But I don't feel too good, McGee. I have a slight toothache. A toothache?
