1947 Radio News


(5 stars; 2 reviews)

News from 1947. I usually share these via torrent but I don't think all these files are available on archive.org so here's a 1947 news file dump. Plus some talk shows and specials. Any typo or error is mine.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

Wonderful stuff


(5 stars)

The 'Time for Reason' shows are excellent, with a level of wisdom you never hear in any of today's media. "1947-03-09 NBC Story Behind The Headlines" is a sad reminder that most things don't change, no matter how much we wish they'd change. The 1947 news from Greece is PRECISELY the same as today's news. Greece behaves the same way, other Euro countries behave the same way, UN behaves the same way.
