Way Way Back Radio: Episode #8
Written by emiller on February 23, 2010 – 6:01 AM -
Way Way Back Radio is a podcast featuring hours of Old Time Radio entertainment, with interesting and amusing anecdotes from the show’s host, Jeff McAleer.
Jeff (who is my closest friend and compatriot, lo these many years) has an unbelievable treasure trove of broadcasts from the Golden Age of Radio. If you are looking for The Shadow, The Great Gildersleeve, Gunsmoke, Jack Benny, X Minus One, Superman, Burns and Allen, or almost anything, than this is the show for you.
