If it isn’t racist we’ll say it is anyway .....
Wait until Amazon tells Google about your book buying habits!!!!
Why stop there? Defund NPR altogether.
When I was a lad in the ‘70s, my father had us listen to “The Shadow”, which was broadcast by WELI-960 in New Haven, CT on Sunday nights. I enjoyed it, and took out tapes from the library, especially “Burns and Allen”, “Fibber McGee and Mollie”, “Lum and Abner”, and “Amos and Andy” were good too, as was “I Love a Mystery”.
That said, there is no longer much need for public radio to broadcast these anymore as many more are available online on-demand.
Get the “Simple Radio” app on your phone. Then search for “Pumpkin FM”...eight plus channels of old time radio, broadcast from LONDON.
That's because you're a freak Mike.
There was a Great YouTube channel of WWII broadcasts that got removed because they included broadcasts of Hitler’s speeches.
I always read 1984 as a warning, not a how to.
I'm sure the OTR audience is going to tune into a rehash of the usual, old, dull NPR crap. I wonder how long it will be until they start removing this kind of programming from TV.
I’d like to think that everything humanity has dine has been recorded in Heaven.

Thanks; will try it.
There are multiple web sites that feature old time radio shows. I remember when Gunsmoke was still on the airwaves when I was around six years old in 1958.
I have sold used books on Amazon for-ever. I recently closed my store and am not looking back.
It feels great! :)
Controversial TV or radio.
When they like it—”If you don’t like it,
just change the channel.”
When they don’t: “It must be banned.
Nobody gets to enjoy it.”
I gave up my XM subscription but they have
an old time radio channel. Some local radio stations may run the occasional show and
old time radio shows have been put out on
CD, cassette, or download.Youtube too.
The song I’m an Indian Too from Annie Get Your Gun—taken out of recent productions.
Some old cartoons removed for racist/stereotypical content.Disney shies away from Song of the South (renaming Splash Mountain, next?) though Zip a Dee
doo Dah from the film is still well known.
Yeah, ban “Amos and Andy”, but continue to show the Tyler Perry “Madea” movies. They are much more woke. (Or are they).
My old man told me that one night was particularly dreary, thunder storms and howling winds and he thought 'oh boy, this is going to make Inner Sanctum extra spooky tonight!' Then the power went out and he tought 'Oh wow, it's REALLY going to be spooky listening in the dark now!'
Except radios didn't run on batteries back then. And so a ten year old learned an important lesson ....
Anyway, I suppose a 10 year old back in the day might think it was creepy fun but I wasn't tempted to listen to more of them.
This is just more “removal” of history, as the world moves to another Dark Age. Without history, or some reference with which to compare what is now going with what what been already done, the world is doomed to repeat errors and mistakes endlessly, until a new Age of Enlightenment dawns.
