Description

Travel back in time with the JoyProject podcast (https://christaavampato.com/joyproject) as we delve into the world of Old Time Radio Shows, a form of entertainment from the 1920s to the 1960s that had families and friends gathered around the radio to tune into their favorite mysteries, drama, and comedies. Zachary Lennon-Simon, a comedian and storyteller in Brooklyn, New York, is our guide through this delightful and light-hearted audio-forward history lesson.


At the end of the podcast, I share something that brought me joy this week related to the episode. I found a bunch of free online resources where you can tune into all kinds of old time radio shows with just a few taps on your computer or phone. I also share my two favorite apps where you can access thousands of free audiobooks through your local public library.


Topics discussed in this episode:

– How Zach discovered old time radio shows as a kid and rediscovered them after college

– Zach’s favorite shows and where to find them today

– The differences between old time radio shows, audiobooks, and narrative podcasts, and some good ones to check out
