Moving from old radio show to old movies

Because we did not have a television, our children grew up listening to old radio shows from the 1930s-1950s. As our collection grew, we became more familiar with the stars of the programs. We also listened to a lot of old movies adapted for radio on programs such as Lux Radio Theater. Later we got a television set to watch videos for schooling, and we began to collect videos of old movies from the same period. Again,over time we researched the movies by the names we knew from the radio shows, and our collection of movies has expanded as did our radio shows. Today we have extensive collections of both, and they are great fun.

Now, some of our grandchildren are listening to old radio shows that their great-grandparents grew up with.
