Radio Out of the Past Providing old time radio events for your listening pleasure.

Let the wind howl outside, and the rain pour down. I'll just turn up the sound on the old-time-radio Christmas marathon. It was on Dec. 5 and 6 in the Fred Bertelsen Old-Time-Radio Room on Radio Out of the Past.org. Twelve hours each day from noon Eastern to midnight. That's 24 hours of old-time-radio shows. There was time to chat with each other, and chances to win prizes. There are 8 hosts playing their favorite Christmas shows from the golden days of radio.
