We Came This Way- These are episodes from a great series that told individual stories which illustrate intolerance and the freedom of men & women throughout history. This was a wartime series that dramatized these stories in the light of the then current war, so you'll hear many references in the framing stories to WWII. Probably most appreciated by older students, as this is some substantial, sometimes complex and sometimes scary history. Excellently done. This series was originally broadcast as part of the NBC University of the Air in 1944.

Tom Sawyer
Considered one of the greatest American novels of all time, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is a lively tale of the scrapes and adventures of boyhood is set in St. Petersburg, Missouri, where Tom Sawyer and his friend Huckleberry Finn have the kinds of adventures many boys can imagine: racing bugs during class, impressing girls, especially Becky Thatcher, with fights and stunts in the schoolyard, getting lost in a cave, and playing pirates on the Mississippi River. This delightful half hour audio adaptation of Twain's classic story was originally broadcast on My Favorite Story, a syndicated radio program that aired in the late 1940s.Programs for Independence Day!
You Are There: July 4th, 1776
Let's go back to the Philadelphia Statehouse on a blistering hot July evening in 1776 when the gathered colonial delegates come to a crisis point -- with a British Armada looming ominously in New York harbor and certain attack imminent, will the Declaration of Independence be adopted, or tossed out altogether? This great episode of "You Are There" recreates the events of that day as they might have been covered by radio reporters, had they been there at the time. Listen to the events that occurred on the birthday of our country. A great "living history" program!The Great Gildersleeve: An Old Fashioned 4th of July
Also, here's our annual re-presentation of one of our favorite radio shows ever, the Great Gildersleeve’s Old-Fashioned Fourth of July program from way back in 1948. Boy, wouldn’t it be great to have a 4th of July celebration like this? This warm, funny, and patriotic episode captures a holiday full of carbide cannons, flags, patriotism, wagon rides, swimming hole antics, picnics and sing alongs... a way to spend a holiday that no longer exists today. You’ll love it!
