The Internet Archive has a lot of old radio programs [1] and newer ones as well [2, 3]. When I wake up in the middle of the night and have trouble getting back to sleep, I sometimes listen to the 1949 World Series between the New York Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers [4].
I thought I was immune to nostalgia for obsolete technology, but those photos of old radios brought a lump to my throat. Radio may have been the closest thing we had to the Internet before we had the Internet.
