Democracy in America was based on the travels and observations that writer Alexis de Toqueville set down in his book by the same name.  While Toqueville was originally tasked to study the judiciary and penal systems of the United States by the French government, he soon became enamored by all facets of American living.  In fact, his keen observation and insight into the American psyche soon propelled his book into the academic field and reading it became a requirement in the educational systems of both America and France.  This old time radio download delved deeply into the structure of American society and in fact, discussed the dynamics of everyday living.

ABOUT OLD TIME RADIO

The buzz-term for Old Time Radio is "OTR". OTR usually means radio broadcasting from the golden age of radio, mostly before 1964. These shows from the pre-television age include adventure, comedies, mystery shows, western dramas and shows from World War II. These programs feature the best talent of the day and were broadcast nearly as widely as cable programs today. And just like TV today, families would gather around their crystal radio sets to enjoy the entertainment together.


WHO TODAY LISTENS TO THESE OLD TIME RADIO PROGRAMS?

Recently OTR was sold and traded, on records and cassettes, by people who had grown up during the 1930's, 1940's, and 1950's who had grown up listening to these shows. With the internet and mp3s, new generations of listeners are discovering these delightful old time radio shows and to their surprise, enjoying them immensely.
