What is the significance of what we call oldtime radio? How did it begin, and why was it so popular in its day? What was involved in the change from radio to television, and who made that transition successfully? On the next Books And Beyond, we'll speak with John and Larry Gassman who are experts in the field. They were consultants on Leonard Maltin's book "The Great American Broadcast." We will talk with them about their relationship with oldtime radio and with the people involved in its production. Because of the vast nature of this topic, we made it into a 2-part show. The first part airs this weekend over www.ACBRadio.org on the mainstream channel. Check the schedule for times in your area. Part 2 will be heard the same time next weekend. Enjoy.
