You can hear the music on the AM Radio

I'll be honest... I'm a TV nut. If you give me a situation, I can probably come up with a line from a TV show that fits.

That being said, I also love old time radio. I know many people would think that radio shows would be less engaging because the eyes aren't engaged but what your eyes don't see your mind is free to make up.

One of my absolute favorites was the War of the Worlds radio program. Orson Wells was so amazingly convincing that people thought it was real. Today people watch live TV and question if its real.

One thing that I believe was key to the longevity of radio shows was that the show was performed in front of an audience. This ensures that we don't have voice actors just reading off of a card with a monotone voice. It ensures an active voice and engaging content.

I recently saw a program on PBS where a group of people were simply reading the lines from a play while standing in front of a TV camera. Talk about boring. I think I was ready to change the channel in about 3 minutes. Some would say I didn't give it a chance buy when my 6 year old niece can read more fluidly than those clowns, I had given it all the chance it needed.

One of my favorite places to listen to radio programs is on road trips. I especially like mysteries because we turn it into a contest of who can figure it out first. Like clue but without the game board.

I truly feel that the TV killed a wonderful art when the radio show was laid to rest.
