Vintage New Year’s Radio Shows
Today I’m sharing a list of vintage New Year’s radio shows. During this festive time of year, I enjoy listening to holiday episodes of some of my favorite old-time radio shows, particularly the comedies. It’s fun to imagine how Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s might have been celebrated 50 or 75 years ago in America.
I shared a list of Christmas episodes three years ago, and I added to that list this year. With New Year’s weekend approaching, I thought it would be fun to transition to the New Year’s episodes. I’ll be listening to some of these episodes as I cook, clean, fold laundry, or ride along in the car. Maybe you would enjoy listening, too. What is your favorite series?
