Likely you’re far too young to remember 3BA in 1938. Maybe an FM station that started 50 years later is more your go. Either way the Radio Heritage Foundation, that great volunteer group that keeps broadcast history alive, invites you and your friends, family and colleagues, listeners or readers, to share a short memory about radio in your life with them on their website.
It could be as simple as a few sentences about working in radio,
listening to the old radio in the lounge or kitchen or on the farm,
or to a transistor or walkman, a favorite broadcaster or song you
heard on the radio, an event, a place, or time when something to do
with radio stuck in your memory.
It doesn’t matter how old or young you are. All memories are equal.
Send your memory via email to [email protected]
The stories will be published on line at their new website, and if anyone has
enough to fill a 500 word feature, we’ll publish it as a column….
so if you’ve always wanted to be a writer, dig into the memories over
the coming weeks, then share them with us.
You might find ideas from visiting www.radioheritage.com and reading
the following features:
* Australian Radio Dial 1931
* A Tale of Three Cities
* Undercover Radio
* Blue Hawaii Radio 1961
* Listening with Lizzie
* any of the Long Lost Australian Radio Stars series
* Californian Radio Dial 1928
* NZ Radio Dial 1978
* any of the hundreds of other features
Radio Heritage Foundation are currently planning a new series looking at radio in 1988 which has more recent stations in many places, including FM, so if most of the stuff you see is a bit old, don’t worry. No matter how young you
are, your memories are very welcome.
