These programs are in the MP3 audio format and are on 17 MP3 CD discs. Fibber McGee & Molly  starred Jim and Marion Jordan. There are over 750 episodes in this collection. This program debuted in 1935 and was a staple throughout the golden age of radio. Also included is an interview with Jim Jordan in his later years, movie clips and still photos, and 0ver 30 guest appearances on other radio shows such as Dinah Shore and Bing Crosby, vintage World War II public service programs,  as well as 5 episodes of Good Old Time Radio, a potpourri of radio.  All stored on 8 MP3 CDs. Amos & Andy starred Freeman Gosden, Charles Correll, Ernestine Wade, and Amanda Randolph in what is considered the first "great" radio show, the beginning of what today is known as the "situation comedy". Gosden and Correll never looked at each other during the broadcast, to avoid cracking up, and the show was not rehearsed, to ensure spontaneity. Starting in 1926 as Sam and Henry, they became so popular that over 40 million people a week listened to them, and movie theatres stopped shows and brought a radio on-stage so their viewers would not miss any of the shows. There are 292 episodes stored on 3 MP3 CDs. There are 517 Great Gildersleeve episodes starting in 1941 when it debuted.  "The Great Gildersleeve" was a spin-off of "Fibber McGee and Molly", and you often heard guest apperances by cast members in each others shows.
