Old Time Radio: Breeding Ground For Some Of The Best Comedy Of The Ages One of the most memorable things about old time radio is the fact that some of the best pioneering comedy became overnight sensations during this era. The outbreak of World War II, sponsor-related controversies and even the blatant pirating of on-air talents from one network to another were never considered as hindrances to the triumph of straight faced punch lines, running gags and slapstick humor. A large number of the very successful old time radio comedians even continued their careers by Old Time Radio: Famous Personages Of The Age If there is one thing you can say about old time radio or OTR is that: there are geniuses during that time who invaded the airwaves, and they have left indelibly marks the face of on-air broadcasting forever. Some of the names of these geniuses have been etched through the annals of history; but there are also a few forgotten souls whose names are less familiar to the modern crowd. Nonetheless, their profound contributions can still be traced through modern radio programming. Old Time Radio: The Audio Craze That Began In the 1930s Old time radio or OTR has had a relatively short but extremely colorful run. Almost 40 years have been attributed to the best of American radio of old time, but not many people really know how this phenomenon swept through America. Although the golden age of radio is accepted to have happened between the 1940s and the 1950s, the dawn of this phenomenon can be pegged around the mid-1930s or during the time when the Great Depression was ending. The War of the Worlds and Mass Hysteria It seems hard to believe today, but a radio drama that aired in the 1930s caused a mass panic by making its listeners believe that aliens had invaded our planet. The show was The War of the Worlds, inspired by H.G. Wells' classic novel. It was produced by, and starred, theatrical wunderkind Orson Welles as an episode of his anthology show Mercury Theater on the Air and aired on Halloween 1938. Try Not to Scream: Horror Programs in the Golden Age of American Radio Horror was a genre that was uniquely suited to American radio of old time. In the 1930s and 1940s, radio had a profound hold on the imaginations of listeners, which various horror programs could readily exploit. With just a few well-chosen sound effects or choice lines of dialogue, radio could evoke a mad scientist's lab, to a planet filled with aliens or a swamp filled with creatures ready to eat the unwary visitor. Who Was That Masked Man? The Lone Ranger Radio Show Hi-yo, Silver, Away! With these words, one of the longest-running of the radio heroes began and ended a new adventure. Yes, it's the Lone Ranger, who accompanied by his faithful sidekick named Tonto, wandered the West delivering frontier justice. The show was on air from 1933 to 1954, spanning virtually the whole of the Golden Age of Radio. The character also successfully crossed-over to other media such as TV, movies and comic books.
