Celebrating Radio’s Golden Age
During the Golden Age of Radio, listeners were entertained by legendary radio comedians, spine tingling thrillers, mysteries and adventures! The Hollywood motion picture stars made guest appearances on top weekly radio programs often to re-create their popular movie for the American radio listener. Radio was hot and millions of listeners tuned in daily to their favorite programs. Radio presented fascinating audio stories by appealing to the listener’s imagination. Entire sound effects departments were developed by radio broadcasters. These sound effects men and women were then tasked to create the sounds of footsteps, horse’s hooves, doors being slammed, rain, thunder, car engines, dogs barking, babies crying,fire cackling, running water, gun shots or whatever the situation required.
For one grand weekend this March, we will roll out the red carpet to welcome the Stars and to bring back the sound effects artists to pay homage to the fondly remembered Golden Age of Radio. Join us!
Where: October 20th – 23rd Hotel 116, 625 116th Ave NE Bellevue, WA 98004 425.455.9444
