Description: "Truly a labor of love, this enormous volume updates and greatly expands the author's earlier work, Tune in Yesterday, a Compendium of Information about Radio's Golden Years. When were various episodes of "Fibber McGee" broadcast? Who were the cast members in "The Shadow"? These questions and many, many more will be answered by this treasure-trove of' information. Over 1,500 radio shows are covered, with complete indexing. It is unparalleled as a resource for understanding American life, culture, and history in the early decades of this century.'"--"Outstanding Reference Sources : the 1999 Selection of New Titles", American Libraries, May 1999.
