Radio talk shows and the ever popular
Theatre on the Air.
Live plays with actors and sound effects,
Mysteries, thrillers, drama...

Your imagination seeing all the action.
Your imagination seeing all the action.
The power of the Radio to influence the audience.
From the Mercury Theatre on the Air

Convincing millions that it was true.

Music & laughter.
Everyone gathered around the radio.

Less than 10% of homes had a television.
Radio was king!
