OLD TIME RADIO

THE REEFER MADNESS ERA INDEX OF AUDIO PROGRAMS

What follows is the museum's main index of Audio "Reefer Madness" Old Time Radio Programs which we have been able to locate. Please do not fault us if this index listing is a bit on the short side. In the words of David Goldin (speaking about OTR's in general):

"How many radio programs, of all the hundreds of thousands that were broadcast during the so-called "Golden Age" have been found to date? What percentage of what was broadcast will ever be found? The answers to both questions is, unfortunately, "not many" and "not much." . . . [and] I can predict that no matter the current or future total, it will represent only the smallest percentage of what was broadcast during the "Golden Age."

In other words, very few Old Time Radio programs were actually recorded and we should be thankful that we got what we got, especially given the state of recording technology back then. According to James Smart of the Library of Congress: "Some of the chief obstacles to large-scale recording of programs in the 1920's and 1930's were the large and cumbersome equipment needed, the expense, and the storage problems by the recordings. The record cutters, or lathes, used by networks handled sixteen-inch aluminum discs . . . each side of the record could hold a fifteen-minute broadcast. Two lathes were necessary to make a continuous recording of a program running longer than [that]."

Which today is causing us no end of problems for students of the era. Take for example the following program:

"The Lone Ranger - Broadcasted May 14, 1937 - Loco-Weed (a.k.a. medical marihuana) smugglers are using coffins and fake funerals.
Great that that information could be located in an old magazine, but unfortunately, there are NO known audio recordings and it is believed that none was ever made. In addition, one can almost cry, when one reads in an old newspaper that such and such a speaker will discuss the marihuana evil over such and such a radio station etc. Now you just know, that they didn't make any recording of that speech.

Therefore, as can be imagined, this index listing (despite a great deal of energy on our part) is at best only a very partial listing, and we seek your help in expanding it. If you know of any additions please do contact us.
