The Soundscape series is a happy side effect of the research phase for the When Radio Ruled Historical Documentary Podcasts.
I listen to hundreds of hours of radio shows in order to create the year by year historical When Radio Ruled documentaries, and as I listen I extract the most interesting and entertaining bits and create a best of reel as a reference for writing the script. And that’s what you are about to hear, a one hour chunk of really great audio artifacts from 1938.
