If you do remember the golden age of radio you may recall a time when the room may have been illuminated only by the light of the radio dial and coming from the loudspeaker the greatest names in comedy like Jack Benny, Red Skelton, Edgar Bergen , Jimmy Durante , Abbott and Costello and others.
These names may evoke a rosy glow of nostalgia for you . Or perhaps you are one who is more in the mood for a good mystery with Sherlock Holmes or a great radio spine-tingling thriller with the likes of the ever popular radio classics Escape and Suspense! Hear great stories like The Time Machine or The Invisible Man by HG Wells, or Three Skeleton Key where three men are trapped in a lighthouse surrounded by thousands of rats who are trying to claw their way in. If this is too intense for you , try the comedy antics of Eve Arden as Madison High's favorite English teacher in Our Miss Brooks. For Further hilarity hear Phil Harris and Alice Faye or The Great Gildersleeve. These all time favorite radio situation comedies can be enjoyed as much today as they were back when they first aired on network radio. Also, hear the biggest stars from the golden age of Hollywood; Carey Grant, Jimmy Stewart, James Cagney ...all appearing on these classic programs!
Radio was and is tremendous entertainment! We would like to have you join us in sharing the fun as we seek to preserve and protect the best of the past, and to seek the best of radio and audio entertainment today !

REPS MONTHLY MEETING
If you have never been to a REPS monthly meeting you may be wondering what it's all about. Well, it's a rather casual affair actually . The meeting starts at 2pm ( but some come a little early to gather and socialize). At 2 pm we begin the meeting with a few announcements and then begin our program. The program varies from month to month. We may have a visiting personality who appeared on many of the classic radio shows, or we will often present a recreation of a classic show. We do interviews and presentations on just about any topic related to old time radio. We generally take a break for 15-20 minutes in the middle of the meeting to partake in the treats and coffee that are served at each meeting. The meeting runs till 4pm. If you appreciate old time radio you should make a point of visiting a REPS monthly meeting when you can. All those who attend the meetings get a free audio CD of an old time radio program. If you were to attend all the meetings that would be 10 free hours of old time radio programs in one year. And that is not counting the door prizes that you might also win .
Think about attending our next gathering. We'd love to meet you.
