	Josh Ritter - Golden Age of Radio
		'Golden Age of Radio' is a laidback and spare recording, but with real musical depth - he and the band create some fantastic moments with simple layers, melodies and themes.
		'Golden Age of Radio' is a truly outstanding piece of work, the 12 tracks are varied, the styles range from the acoustic opener 'Come and Find Me', to the country roots/rock of the title track, and every song is rewarding, there aren't any fillers on the disc.
		While this may not be a disc to grab the listener on the first play through, two or three listens is all you need for the charms of the subtle melodies and lyrics to work their magic.

	USATODAY.com - New golden age of radio lures young listeners (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		We are living in the golden age of radio documentary, and even if the cultural tastemakers often seem clueless, tens of millions of listeners to non-commercial radio savor a growing body of creative, perceptive and edifying work, most of it produced or distributed by National Public Radio, Public Radio International and Minnesota Public Radio.
		Today, however, radio audiences are enjoying the fruits of such major talents as David Isay, Ira Glass and the Kitchen Sisters, as the producing team of Davia Nelson and Nikka Silva is known.
		The elder figures of radio documentary, by whom I mean those in their 40s, grew up catching the last gasps of genuine personality on the commercial dial: the storytelling of Jean Shepherd, the sound collages of Ken Nordine and the urbane music and commentary of Jonathan Schwartz.

	About Collecting Golden Age Radio
		The other 89% of the Golden Age Radio collecting community has neither the access, nor resources with which to obtain these limited, increasingly finite, and increasingly fragile and rapidly deteriorating first and second generation media.
		What made The Golden Age Radio era different in this regard was the passionately democratic expressions of the dynamics between the haves and have-nots of the Golden Age.
		Golden Age Radio made us more intellectually curious and in the days when there was a multitude of diverse media ownership, an entire nation's intellectual curiousity is what those advertisers, politicians and networks had to contend with -- and it's what kept them as honest as we forced them to be.
