The RADIO RECALL is the official journal of the Metropolitan Washington
Old Time Radio Club, and is published six times a year. Each issue contains 12
pages of text and graphics relating to all phases of vintage radio. Contributors
to past issues have included well-known OTR writers and researchers, including
Elizabeth McLeod, Jim Cox, Ken Piletic, Jim Snyder, Stephen A. Kallis, Jr.,
Michael Biel, Dennis W. Crow, and others.
Articles, frequently illustrated by Bobb Lynes, have appeared which
have discussed Tom Mix, Suspense, Straight Arrow, Quiet Please, Marx Brothers on
Radio, OTR's Lady Detectives, Art of Audio Collecting, The Blue Beetle, Origins
of Radio Broadcasting, Captain Midnight, OTR Magicians, McNeil's Breakfast Club
and many other topics. There are also regular features on current OTR
conventions and festivals, reviews of new OTR books, articles on new OTR
acquisitions, and radio related quizzes and puzzles. Each issue includes a
"Voice of the Listener" column which contains requests from those seeking
missing shows, books, or data on stars or shows.
A complete index of the past 20 years of RADIO RECALL is underway and
should be finished in early 2003. When finalized, it will be posted on this
site. Copies of any back issue are available for $5 (post paid) from the
editor, Jack French.
A one-year subscription to this publication comes with membership in MWOTRC.
