Audio Antiques - Salute to Cleveland 1

On this edition of Audio Antiques we are celebrating Cleveland, Ohio USA. During radio's golden age, Cleveland was one of the 10 largest cities in the United States. During it's heyday, Cleveland was a center of manufacturing , innovation, business, arts & culture, and crime, as you will hear in some of the law & order shows of the day. We begin with President Franklin Roosevelt giving a campaign speech in Cleveland on November 2nd, 1940 just days before his victorious election against Wendell Willkie. Cleveland Indians President Bill Veeck appears on Author Meets The Critics just weeks before his team would win the 1948 World Series. Legendary Indians pitcher Bob Feller recalls his opening game of the 1940 season on his 1960's radio show. Then a 1948 Cleveland broadcast of the ever popular Jack Benny Show. Followed by 2 episodes of the crime drama Big Story, featuring newspaper coverage from the Cleveland Press in 1948, and the Cleveland News in 1949. More at K-Rob Collection.com
