OZR.com & MZTV

     When exploring these sites, I realized one thing about the radio era, and that it is soo similar to the TV we watch today. The radio had tons of shows, comedy, sci-fi, drama, talk shows, it's the modern day without the visuals. These people were celebrities in their shows and the ones who offered these programs are still doing it today in the TV era such as NBC, CBS, etc. It was interesting to look at the shows found back then because you can spot the similarites of franchises to come that were inspired. Even some of them, such as Flash Gordon were adapted into TV shows. The interesting thing about the radio is it's a lot similar to books than TV, with the use of detail descriptions and dialogue, it feels like someone reading a story to you. Of course the use of actors and sound effects bring that TV feeling, but it is like your getting the best of both worlds with some of these broadcast shows.
