Radio Days

On otr.com, you can listen to a bunch of old radio show broadcasts.  I listened to a show called Amos 'n' Andy.  This particular episode was about how Andy helped a girl named Ruby to make Amos jealous by telling Amos that Ruby had a date.  The show was amusing, and I appreciated the old-fashioned wholesome humor.  I also liked the people that were chosen to be the voices of the characters.  They were raw and real, and their tone was perfect for the story.  It was, however, difficult to listen to because of the sound quality .  Also, growing up in a generation where we always had a visual to go with the dialogue, I found it to be a little hard to follow sometimes.  I had to cut out any other distractions around me and really focus on what was being said, especially because there were a number of different telephone conversations, it got a little confusing.  Despite those few things, I thought the website was a cool gateway to the past.
