Radio Theater Enjoys Revival

Long before podcasts, live-streaming video and even before television, families used to gather around the radio and listen to radio theater. Shows like “Amos and Andy” and “Flash Gordon” provided hours of entertainment. Radio relies on a magical collaboration between the imagination of the listener and the vocal performances of actors, to make performances come alive. That magic still happens locally, thanks to the Seasoned Players and Spokane Radio Theatre. Twice a month Seasoned Players present short plays during the Spokane Radio Theatre show on KYRS, Thin Air Community Radio. Recently, the group gathered at director Allen Eickemeyer’s home to rehearse and record “Bingo Ladies Gone Bad,” for this Sunday’s show/ Cindy Hval , SR. More here .

Question: Do you listen to the radio much? Which station (generally)?
