Mystery In The Radio Waves

Welcome to Mystery in the Radio Waves. I’m your host Elizabeth McIrvin. Mystery in the Radio Waves is a podcast where a cast of actors and comedians perform a classic radio play and then improvise jokes, characters, and stories. What the heck are radio plays and where do they come from? Well...The Golden Age of Radio was an era of radio in the U.S. in the 1920's to the 1960's where the main source of entertainment was radio programming before people owned televisions on a larger scale. The programs would have the same range as tv shows today. There were weekly medical dramas, romances, mysteries, true crime, etc. It's such an interesting part of entertainment history that we hope to revive a little on this podcast. Just the great storytelling, not the racist/sexist . This week we are performing “The Man Who Thought He Was Edward G. Robinson” from the series “Suspense”. The original airdate was October 17, 1946. After the play we get into some improv inspired by the play! Thank you so much for listening! Plea
