Have you ever been to OTR.com? Neither had I until recently. Growing up just prior to the new millennium I have always been surrounded by television (in color), video games and, the biggest game changer, the computer. Not having much interaction with the radio outside of the morning drive to elementary school I never realized the big hit that radio had been. Listening to some shows on OTR.com helped bring radio to life in a way that I never thought possible.
My first radio show I picked was Terry and the Pirates, a radio series about a young man traveling through the war in the far east.
My favorite part is the advertisements prior to the start of the show. A handsome sounding, well-versed man with his calm cool voice comes on and yaps about tomato soup and the health benefits which pour from the can; oh by the way, trust him, 'he would know.' Once the show started though it was surprisingly a lot of fun. Being used to the visual aspects of entertainment it was a little unexciting compared to top Hollywood intro's but as soon as this regret gives way to childhood imagination the radio shows come to life.
