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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I’m sure we will see old movies and TV shows being banned as well.
With this cultural cleansing going on , almost anything made before about the year 2000 is going to be offensive in some way .
Pick any old show or movie and you will see that there is something objectionable to these radicals.
Leave it to Beaver is objectionable to feminist types because June Cleaver represents a stereotypical housewife. And with Leave it to Beaver or any old sitcom , there was no obligatory gay character on shows back in those days.
A silly sitcom such as Bewitched has got to be offensive, because Darren warned Samantha not to use Witchcraft , and he behaved like he was her boss, like he was dominant over her, in telling her not to use Witchcraft.
You could make a game out of this. Pick any old movie or TV show and then talk about what these radicals today would find offensive about it.
Bump
one can find many of these programs at archive.org. The entire run of Great Gildersleeve for example is there. As well as WW2 broadcasts, etc. You gotta take time to hunt, but its there and all downloadable—at least it was.
