Two Questions: Radio Days and Generational Ways!

Martinex1: Today I have two questions that are related in that they may have more to do with a golden age rather than the Bronze Age.   Let's look at the generation we admire and talk about what influenced it.

QUESTION 1:  Were you exposed to old radio programs and did you enjoy the medium?   From the Shadow to Abbott and Costello to The Cinnamon Bear - what have you heard and what did you think?

 

QUESTION 2:  We talk about influencing our children (nieces and nephews, etc) with our passion and hobbies, but who influenced you and to what degree?   Were your parents or relatives impactful to your lifelong obsessions?  How? 

Those are the questions for the day.  Thanks for playing along!
