Dick Karman and
The Way Radio Was

Reliving Radio comes to you. This is an audio-biography of radio. Relive the memories that were radio.

When you invite the Way Radio Was to your church audience or senior center, Mr. Karman will lead you down memory lane. You'll remember adventures in which you'll live in a million could-be years, on a thousand may-be worlds. You'll know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak. You'll know what evil lurks in the Hearts of Men. You'll remember products that used to be household words. You'll laugh with Spike Jones and Stan Freburg. You'll Sing along with Tex Beneke; Croon with Rudy Vallee and Bing Crosby. You'll work the Swing Shift with Glen Miller, Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw.

The Way Radio Was leads you into history seeing radio stations born. You'll enjoy remembering how radio has played a part in every major event since the Titanic sinking in 1912. Remember those heart-stopping words- "We interrupt this broadcast to bring you a special news bulletin."

Use the Way Radio Was as a vintage DJ as background for special dinner or lunch events (complete with swing dance music), or on center stage for your church gathering. Always delightful. Always new. Always memorable.

The Way Radio Was host, Dick Karman, has 45 years of radio memorabilia and memories, from Broadcast gear and microphones to Burma Shave signs. He comes to you with recorded sound and anecdotes of the decades gone by. The stories, the jokes, and the inspirational messages have been the highlight of many Reliving Radio events for the last 15 years. He comes to you to set up his memory machines and returns to those thrilling days of yesteryear.

Reliving Radio brings radio drama to life.

Return with us to those thrilling days of live radio theater. Volunteer voice actors, using scripts from the past, music that memories are made of, and mechanical sound effects (some over 60 years old), transport their audience to Radioland. With microphones, sound effects, and costumes from the 1940s, Reliving Radio brings its audience memories like Fibber McGee and Molly, Sam Spade Detective, Our Miss Brooks, The Whistler, and Sherlock Holmes. Performances are scheduled at various times in the months of October and November. No matter what script is used, the memories and the magic permeate the atmosphere from the prelude of great old WW II songs, to the final credit roll. For information about performances in the Portland (Oregon) metropolitan area call 503-784-4398
