The Theatre of the Mind

The Theatre of the Mind is a YouTube channel that features streaming videos related to old time radio programs, as well as the history of cinema and silent films. In addition to the variety of old time radio show episodes, it features a three-part documentary about the history of radio, titled The First 50 Years. (See links below.)

The early history of radio is the history of technology that produced radio instruments that use radio waves. Within the timeline of radio, many people contributed theory and inventions in what became radio. Radio development began as “wireless telegraphy”. Later radio history increasingly involves matters of programming and content.
