    Amazing! What a year ... listening to the radio broadcasts makes me feel like I was there.

    A great compilation of some of my favorite radio shows from years gone by. I've been a listener probably from the age of 2 (some 78 years ago) and I have to admit there were some shows(possibly having a short run) that I don't recall. The audio on most of the programs is as good if not better than it was during the original broadcast. The detective shows are just as action packed and suspenseful as they were back then. The comedy is just as fresh & meaningful today as it was in the original airing. One thing I often ponder when I hear OTR -how come we laughed at skits that were void of foul language-when did malicious or rude comedy become fashionable? It seems to say something about today's society. I really appreciate OTR preservation of our nation's finest hours. This "1945" in particular resonates with me because of the war years and the hopes & fears we had for our servicemen & women -many of them our own relatives or neighbors. Well done OTRCAT & thanks.

    1945, the last year of WWII, and many of the shows in this collection reflect that, but the breadth, and and occasionally depth of these bradcasts is amazing. I was 9 at the time,loved radio, and listening to these shows provided a time machine to another time and another place. Of special interest were the VE and VJ Days shows.

    I'm a history junky , born in 1960, so hearing stuff from the era BEFORE me is just phenomenal!!!! Makes me feel like I was THERE!!!!! So;.... any chance I get to dive into the shows of that era, I learn about things I would've NEVER learned about otherwise!!! Then, getting to share the wonder of this with those I love is AMAZING!!!!!

    I love learning and hearing the flavor of those years. It's really great when I'm playing a quiet game on my pc and get to laugh or hear those first hand accounts. Like finding out the first bombing attempts during the war etc... Ty OTR!
