The Aldrich Family Homer is not going to be accompanying the family on their upcoming trip to Program Guide by Ivan G. Shreve, Jr. Washington, D.C. Friends and family soon start to put pressure on Sam to take Homer along. Featuring Howard “Hen-reeeeeeeee!

  • American Radio Collection, 1931-1972, Collection (S0256)
    S0256 American Radio Collection, 1931-1972 Collection 256 514 Audio Tapes This collection is available at The State Historical Society of Missouri. If you would like more information, please contact us at [email protected]. This collection is stored off site. Please allow 3-5 business days for retrieval. The American Radio Collection was donated to WHMC by the Thomas Jefferson Library. All tapes are reel-to-reel. All programs listed in this inventory are alphabetized by the first letter of each program, except for articles. Programs titled by a performers name are alphabetized by the performer’s first name: e.g., Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Jimmy Durante, Bing Crosby, etc. Wherever possible, programs are headed with a brief comment on their nature and the years they were broadcast. Introduction to American Radio Collection, 1931-1972, Collection 256 The American Radio Collection, composed of 514 reel-to-reel tapes, is a valuable piece of American social and cultural history. Tapes in the collection cover the early years of commercial broadcast radio through its golden years to the decline of network radio in the early 1960s. Today commercial radio aims its programs at specific audiences, listeners with different interests in music, politics, religion, and sports. News, commentary, and call-in- shows try to win loyal audiences to this “niche programming,” as it is sometimes called. Today, broadcast radio rarely seeks to appeal to a broad audience of varying ages, genders, ethnicities, occupations, or geographic locations. Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companionis a rare live broadcast aimed at a national audience but it attracts only a small audience, largely white and middle class.
