Episode 458: Don't Touch That Dial, Part 2

We’re back with part two of John Tefteller’s conversation with Bob Lynes and Barbara Sunday, the dynamic duo behind the long-running Los Angeles radio show Don’t Touch That Dial. This time, they touch on the golden age of radio’s big revival during the ’70s through ’90s. Bobb and Barbara share stories from those early preservation days, the tricky business of royalties and archives, and what it was like to meet the original writers and performers from the 1930s to the 1950s. You’ll also hear a full episode from Richard Diamond, Private Detective and some great behind-the-scenes memories about legends like Bob Hope and Jack Benny’s writing team. It’s a fascinating, funny, and heartfelt tribute to the people who kept classic radio alive long after the microphones went cold.
