Why isn't there a world or space for radio serials/programs between the 1930s and the 1960s? Only The Shadow Knows!

I second the notion. That’s a great idea! So many great actors, musicians, and comedians had radio show. Jack Benny, Burns and Allen, Orson Wells, Bing Crosby, Abbott and Costello, Bob Hope, Louis Armstrong, Danny Kaye, Spike Jones, and about a hundred other people were the star of their own radio show. Plus a lot of great TV shows came out of radio like I Love Lucy, Gunsmoke, You Bet Your Life, Our Miss Brooks the list goes on. Radio shows were an extremely important part of entertainment and culture for more than 30 years and should really have their own world on this site.

Thanks Joyful Jukebox for supporting the concept. Indeed, so many radio shows were reset as tv shows. In particular, I love to listen to Crime-Detective, Suspense, Horror and Sci-Fi radio shows. Hopefully, our discussion might get some cogs turning here!
