SINGLES AND DOUBLES COLLECTION: D - G
This is a work in progress. This OTRR Collection is a Non-Certified one, containing series in which currently only one or two episodes are known to exist -- hence the name: "Singles and Doubles Collection". Almost every type genre is included. Radio -- called by some The Theater of the Mind -- has been with us since 1920 when stations WWJ of Detroit and KDKA of Pittsburg made the first regular commercial broadcasts. The first program aimed at entertaining the unseen audience followed close behind. Over the years since then, literally thousands of series have been broadcast nationally and thousands more in regional or local markets. Some endured for a few years, others for 20 or 30, and some unfortunately only had one episode broadcast. Of those thousands, some series saw some of their episodes saved for the future, some saw nearly all and others only one or two episodes. While the goal of the Old Time Radio Researchers Group is to preserve radios past by collecting, and archiving as many different series as possible and making them available to the community, we do not want to let the series that only had a minimum number of episodes to survive go unpreserved for future generations. To that end we have put together this unique collection of series. Most of the programs you will find here will be totally unfamilar to you, but they are informative and entertaining none the less. This is the second version of this collection that we have released. Since the first collection new broadcasts have surfaced, and others will undoubtely be found in the future. When and if that occurs, we will release a version three. From comedy to drama to cooking shows to music, you'll hear it all here, and every episode will be unique and different. They run the gamut, from the middle 20s to the early 70s, all showing us a glimpse of the past, when things were slower and families gathered round the radio each evening. Times when each person was hearing the same thing, but created a different picture in their minds of what the characters looked like, the scenery, location, and most important the sounds. Sounds that each found a different meaning in, but one that entertained, educated, and made the world a smaller place, where you could hear those stories that in the past were told to just a few, gathered round the dinner table, at a campfire, or in small audiences, but now the whole world could hear and enjoy. Some of these episodes may be misnamed or misdated. If you find such, please let us know. Additionally there may be some dead air space at the beginning or ending of some episodes. This is not one of our certified sets, it is being provided as a way to obtain those series in which only one or two shows have survived. This page contains Series beginning with the letters D through G. A text file containing a list of the MP3 files found on this page appears near the end of the file section. From the Old Time Radio Researcher's Group. See "Note" Section below for more information on the OTRR.

Fitch is On The Air 37-03-18 is mislabeled because it has been misheard for years. It is a Duke Ellington show and opens with "Duke is on the Air" not Fitch is on the air. 47-08-xx (001) David Street Show - Guest - George Jessel.mp3 s/b 47-08-08 45-04-22 (xxx) Drew Pearson Show.mp3 and 45-05-06 (xxx) Drew Pearson Show.mp3 There are at least 3 available in mp3 42-12-16 xxx Escape To Death.mp3 was a program called Black Castle with Escape to Death being the name of the episode. The program was not on in 1942. Radiogold gives a date of 43-12-16, but that is a Thursday and the show was on Tuesdays at 8 pm. So, let's call it 43-12-14 for lack of a better date. From The Bookshelf Of The World - Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde - There are 7 episodes available in mp3 52-12-28 (xxx) Forty Million - Friend Of The Bride.mp3 There are at least 3 available in mp3 General Electric Program - Guest - Judy Garland 521030 There are at least 7 episodes available in mp3.

Gerber Program clip dates to June 1934: According to Wikipedia, the special guest celebrating her 73rd birthday in this clip, Mme. Ernestine Schumann-Heink, was born on June 15, 1861 and died on Nov. 17,1936 at 75. Gateway to Hollywood was a talent contest. The finalists included 3 young men and 3 young women, all vying to receive the stage names "Terry Belmont" (for the men) or "Gale Storm" (for the women) and to be cast in a Hollywood production. The female winner was Josephine Cottle who, as Gale Storm, went on to become the star of My Little Margie. She was 17 at the time, which fits with the date of 1939 mentioned in the audition. Love the Singles and Doubles so much! Thank you!

"Crime Cases Of Warden Lawes - Case 43587-M " is not a mystery show - it's just a man talking about how children differ from adults and, in the next segment, actors "7-08-24_xxx_Deadline_Mystery_-_Apartment_Racket" is promising, but the file is corrupted - playback ends before the show is complete I've listened several other shows - other than being rare, they are nothing special:
Awesome

I just listened to an episode of "Forward March", Which contains some of the catchiest music I have ever heard. It's much better than the crap on the radio today. It's great music for those who love 40's Popular Music ("Traditional Pop"). 5/5!
