In addition to the story, there is an original opening created from a mix of other radio shows along with an original script based on actual events that took place in the 1940s.

Old Time Radio (Performance)
Our first podcast kicks off with Old Time Radio reproductions. Using the actual scripted material from Radio Shows and commercials from the 1930-1950's, some students from Levels 2, 3, & 4 experiment with Voiceover work and sound effects. Two episodes of "5-Minute Mysteries" and one episode of "Flash Gordan" are included along with a couple very dated commercials. Work on this came out of a class project we did while working remotely during the Covid pandemic.
