Old Radio Broadcasts

[FTLewisBrat]

Does anyone else enjoy listening to WWII era radio broadcasts while  working-on/organizing your collections? 

 

While cleaning my Winchester Garand today (and listening to one of those broadcasts) my wife came downstairs, rolled her eyes, and talked about how "weird" this practice was.  I can't be the only one that does this...right?

 

This is one of the websites I go to, in case anyone else is interested;

I always listen to broadcasting from WW2, I listen when going to sleep. My favs are the original D-Day broadcasts.  My wife she listens to old time radio suspense theater shows. So no eyes from her. Lol

I remember way back in the spring of 1978 I bought this exact kit below, the Revell 1/32 Scale Huey Slick, and the week or more I spent time building it and then painting it when it was done, I would every time listen to the Beatles Red and Blue Albums, I still got these two albums, but the helicopter is long gone now

Bill- Do you listen to the D-Day broadcasts on line somewhere, or did you buy the CD's? 

 

Patches- I listen to the Beatles when fixing things that break on my '71 BSA B25... I get to listen a lot!

You tube has all kinds of WW2 broadcasts, plus audio books for free.
