In the 1930s, radio was still a new form of entertainment, bringing news, sports, comedy, and drama into millions of Depression-era homes throughout the country. Despite the economic conditions, Americans were still in desperate need of entertainment, and radio was there to give it to them—free, with just a flick of the switch and a turn of the dial.
In this remarkable audio, you’ll have the chance to hear a rare sampling of the sort of musical shows that listeners enjoyed the most during that difficult time—everything from the sparkling dance music of the Cocoanut Grove Nightclub to the personality-driven music and variety shows that captivated audiences with memorable melodies and hilarious comedy.
