The Law of Contact

Hi!

For the better part of the first half of the twentieth century the home radio was the center of entertainment, knowledge and news for everyone in the family, until television took over in the 1950's. When Radio was king the family gathered around the radio after dinner and enjoyed mystery, comedy, suspense and more with clever dialogue that sparked our imagination like never before or since. Here you can discover and enjoy many of the radio programs that kept your family fascinated and entertained during those days of long ago.

This web site is specially optimized for smart phones and situations where bandwidth is an issue. All of the audio files are designed for fast downloading and playing especially when you want to save bandwidth but still enjoy an exciting adventure or interesting story. Download a bunch to your tablet, phone or other device for fun on the go, or just connect and enjoy anywhere at any time with much less bandwidth drain than videos require.

Disposable Time: The periods of time that are empty of purpose - for example the idle minutes you are waiting in a doctor's office or a busy airport . . . or maybe an afternoon or evening that you find yourself without anything to do. You have the choice to do whatever you want with these periods of time . . . you may do anything you like, or nothing at all. Might I humbly suggest that browsing through the thousands of radio programs from the early days of broadcasting offered here, and selecting one to listen to might be a very rewarding use of those times.
