Notes on Provenances:

The most helpful provenances were the log of the RadioGOLDINdex and newspaper listings.


What you see here, is what you get. Complete transparency. We have no 'credentials' whatsoever--in any way, shape, or form--in the 'otr community'--none. But here's how we did it--for better or worse. Here's how you can build on it yourselves--hopefully for the better. Here are the breadcrumbs--just follow the trail a bit further if you wish. No hobbled downloads. No misdirection. No posturing about our 'credentials.' No misrepresentations. No strings attached. We point you in the right direction and you're free to expand on it, extend it, use it however it best advances your efforts.

We ask one thing and one thing only--if you employ what we publish, attribute it, before we cite you on it.

We continue to provide honest research into these wonderful Golden Age Radio programs simply because we love to do it. If you feel that we've provided you with useful information or saved you some valuable time regarding this log--and you'd like to help us even further--you can help us keep going. Please consider a small donation here:

We don't pronounce our Golden Age Radio research as 'certified' anything. By the very definition, research is imperfect. We simply tell the truth. As is our continuing practice, we provide our fully provenanced research results--to the extent possible--right here on the page, for any of our peers to review--or refute--as the case may be. If you take issue with any of our findings, you're welcome to cite any better verifiable source(s) and we'll immediately review them and update our findings accordingly. As more verifiable provenances surface, we'll continue to update the following series log, as appropriate.

All rights reserved by their respective sources. Article and log copyright 2009 The Digital Deli Online--all rights reserved. Any failure to attribute the results of this copywritten work will be rigorously pursued.

[Date, title, and episode column annotations in
red refer to either details we have yet to fully provenance or other unverifiable information as of this writing. Red highlights in the text of the 'Notes' columns refer to information upon which we relied in citing dates, date or time changes, or titles.]

NBC Radio is presenting an interesting
program these Wednesday evenings (at 7:30 p.m. CST).
Called "Recollections at Thirty," in observance of the network's thirtieth birthday, it offers outstanding broadcasts of the past 30 years.
In recent weeks it has presented rebroadcasts of originals by such performers as Baron Munchausen, Floyd Gibbons, a neat bit of repartee between John Barrymore and Charlie McCarthy, Ed Wynn, Rudy Vallee, Bing Crosby. Remember President Franklin D. Roosevelt's fireside chat on the meaning of Labor Day? And remember the Chamber Music Society
of Lower Basin Street? Both have been heard.
Regardless of a birthday anniversary "Recollections at Thirty" embodies a good idea which both radio and television well could do more frequently.
