That Was The Year - The Complete Old Time Radio Program


(5 étoiles; 4 critiques)

This upload contains all 39 episodes of the Old Time Radio show, That Was The Year.  Hosted by Gerald Mohr, the show aired in 1937.  Each 15-minute episode gave a brief history lesson of some of the big stories of one year from 1896-1934 and concluded with one of the popular songs of the year.   The dates, episode numbers and titles are believed to be correct based on available information, but any corrections are welcome.   Disclaimer: By uploading these files, I make no claim to ownership or copyright. These recordings have been acquired from publicly available sources on the Internet, and my goal has been to put together a collection of every available episode where possible. I will add to these collections if I discover new episodes or if any new episodes become available. Additionally, while I tried to put together a collection that contains the best version of each episode that I could, there may be better copies of some recordings available from collectors and dealers, and I encourage you to reach out to them if you are so inclined. We OTR enthusiasts owe a huge debt to those who have worked tirelessly to discover, acquire and preserve these recordings. My role here has been to organize the files I have, verify the dates, episode numbers and titles as best I could from available sources, and correct and rename the files accordingly. My goal is to ensure these excellent artistic expressions of our past are preserved for this and all future generations, and I hope that by uploading all of my files here in a uniform and organized system, they will be easily accessible for all.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

great audio


(5 étoiles)

really instructive/educational and fun!!! show. It's incredible to acknowledge this show was recorded in the 1930's, the audio quality & music is just outstanding. I'm real glad this was put on the Archive. !! Just Note Some Shows May Not Be Suitable for Young Persons! not for "adult content", but some of the newsworthy events that took place in certain years were dramatized such as assassinations, explosions &etc the dialogue is so.. well, it can be realistic thus very very sad, it may shock or startle some because it sounds so real, what some actors say and it's traumatic. Just a couple episodes were shocking like that, which is a good thing about the whole show is the way it tells the stories. Lots of music and the show has a fantastic orchestra, the best singers Ive ever heard! they replay the popular tunes of each "Year", that was so interesting! I think this is amazing. I saved a lot of these shows to put on my player to listen later, it's great!
