In 1945, citizens were listening with keen anticipation and high hopes as the end of a war, and the dawn of a new era, were revealed through their radios. The words on everyone’s lips were of war bonds and atomic bombs. The wish in every heart was for victory and peace. The country’s biggest stars came out in droves to entertain the troops, its brightest authors gave voice to the deep concern, pride, and gratitude shared by those at home, and new radio programs were broadcast for the very first time. This stirring 6-hour collection includes episodes that have never before been released, as well as powerhouse classics. Radio Spirits pays tribute to this momentous year, and honors those who lived through it, those who were born in it, and all those who are moved by its memory.
