Description

Claudia is an old time radio show about the ups and downs of being a newlywed.  Topics include dealing with in-laws, burning dinner, losing socks, buying really big dogs, and all the little moments that make up a life together.
Originally originating as a script on The Kate Smith Show, the original roles were played by Patricia Ryan (Claudia) and by Richard Kollmar (David).
The characters Clauda and David Naughton were created by Rose Franken who wrote a series of popular short stories about the fictional newlywed in the 1930s. The books were later adapted into 3 films by RKO.  Due to the popularity of these films, Coca-Cola decided to sponsor a 15 minute weekday show.  Staring Kathryn Bard and Paul Crabtree, Joe King is the announcer.
Claudia is a lighthearted soap with relatable characters doing what regular people were doing.  David is a WWII veteran trying to have a good life with his new wife and Claudia, although sometimes silly, is a loving wife.  The show offers an excellent glimpse of a realistic 1940s American household.

You don't need to sit around the radio any longer to listen to radio programs. Now a days you can put in ear plugs and listen via your cell phones, or iPods. I just want to share some of my favorite OTR programs that I personally enjoy listening too. You will find comedy, drama, new casts and a host of other programs that our grandparents listened too. ---- Check out the tumblr page. Here you will find longer details of my ideas of programing blocks that I'm going to plan on doing. You will also be able to send me messages. ----
