When Radio Ruled #110 - SoundScape 1939 part 1
For the Previous 2 episodes, The Year 1939 – Politics and the year 1939 – Culture and Technology, I listened to almost 1000 hours of OTR in chronological order. I got to hear 1939 unfold through broadcasts from the day and learn what the podcasts should be about. As I go, I create a best of collection of clips I might possibly use in the podcast that isn’t written yet. This results in a rather large number of clips, 36 hours for the year 1939, history from those living it. 1939 was the year the country woke up to the horrific scale of the war we all saw coming. The Soundscapes for 1939 series will tell the story of optimism to pessimism, of hope to resignation, compromise to confrontation through a tapestry of OTR clips. Here is part 1, Curated clips broadcast chronologically January 1 to January 12, 1939. The early, hopeful days in 1939. Highlights include Goodbye 1938 hello 1939 How to have happiness in marriage? A Great Playlet “Rose by Any Other Name” starring Melvyn Douglas Other Feature Performers include: Don Wilson Mary Livingston Jack Benny The Phil Harris Orchestra Andy Devine Cecil B DeMille Errol Flynn Joan Blondell Mae Robeson Robert Young Meredith Wilson Orson Welles Kenny Baker Henry Morgan Fanny Brice And more!
