It seems that those recordings would be wanted by some agencies like TNT old movie channel or people involved with saving and documenting these famous entertainers. This is a national treasure! I'd love to hear them. Thanks for sharing ❤
Pat I am 65 and never heard of transcription disks. My radio was the transistor. All my money went to 9volt batteries and the occasional 45rpm. Rock and Roll. Then and now! I love old Radio drama on TH-cam. Like you, I am an Anglophile. I search “British Radio Drama”
I am exempt from the generation gap. I'm one of those old souls. My favorites are 50-60s movies and big band, swing jazz, crooner music. I do love 80s also. The mandatory radio broadcasts are a continuous law that insures that radio never goes away. About records in general...I really love the nostalgic crackle of them. I remember when CDs came out. It was great to hear music as if Live but better but still...there's just that crackle from what seems like (despite reality in some cases) simpler times. It slows life down a bit and encourages us to find still moments to take a breath, be present, find appreciation around you or in you...life. I think it is very cool that you have those. Maybe someone, someday will be able to play some for us. I have, somewhere, old Christmas radio broadcasts on CDs from WW2. It plays the crackle, the DJ original commercials and music. It's the best. It talks about rations, shares recipe ideas for nutrition and much more. Those records probably would play out in a similar way. It really creates an environment as if it's just in another dimension...just out of reach but you can feel it. ☺️
Nice Music Albums! Listening to music is healing, can make people feel happy when sad. I play my albums, music cds, cassettes. I also listen to the music on some FM stations and the news/talk radio on the AM stations.
I am 67. These discs are all new to me. Very cool historical information. Thank you for sharing. More fun than going to a museum; with Sweet GP as our curator. ❤🐝fromCO.
My great uncle had a 16 inch turntable. He was a classical music and opera fan. His records were 16 inches and he had a huge collection of them, which he willed to a radio station.
Hey Granny Pat, I'm 74 and have never seen or heard of these transcription discs! Woo hoo, I love learning about something new. I tried to find your neat stuff on etsy by searching your you tube channel name to no avail. Looking forward to seeing your goodies!
Granny Pat, They must have expanded their use later on. The use you mention is public service announcements and other information, but also there was the entertainment use. I only happen to know this because I’m a big fan of the Bob Wills Transcriptions: a series of musical programs he and his band recorded to be distributed/syndicated to radio stations, supplied in these 16-inch discs. Thank you for sharing this! I love old radio stories! Remember SUSPENSE!!!?
Never heard of transcription disks. My Mother and her sister sang on Live radio in Raleigh NC in the 1940’s. My grandmother told on my Daddy for leaving the fields on the farm to go in to listen to The Lowe Sisters. As a child Mama made my sister and I listen to a radio show called” Aunt Bertha.” She would tell stories with lots of sound effects in the studio.
Oh wow I have never heard of something like that Granny Pat and find it so very interesting to learn of such as those discs!!! I am an avid music lover and had an extensive record collection when I was a young teeager...including the blue vinyl Styx album that had the gorgeous laser etching design on it...and then one day our house was broken into and my entire collection and stereo were stolen!!! I even had my collection of old albums my parents gifted to me from artist like Elvis, Dolly Parton, Glen Campbell, Ray Stevens and the good ole true country artist...so very inspiring and interesting to me!!! And I have been waiting to order some of your beautiful merchandise...thankyou so much for your precious time and great stories...love you Granny Pat...sending lots of love and huge warm hugs!!!💖🙏🎶👓💿🤓🤟💖!!!
I have my great grandma and grandpa's 1939 standing console wood Philco radio. I had it restored. It is beautiful. I had never heard of Gogi Grant until 2 days ago. I looked her up. She sang The Wandering Wind. Great singer.
Very interesting video. Thank you. You have merch. As in merchandise. 🎉 That a girl. Pat you have a supportive granddaughter and daughter. ❤ That's wonderful. God bless you and yours.
I still listen to old radio programs.. but on TH-cam! One of my favorites is the Campbell Playhouse! ❤ I love love love that drama series! Orson Welles was awesome!
I loved this video! Those records are interesting. I didn't know that they made those kind of recordings. It would be nice to hear them. My husband and I got rid of our record player/turntable. We found a way to record music from our albums to digital version, so we could have those songs on our computer. I wish now I hadn't got rid of the turntable. There are multiple old vintage radio channels here on TH-cam. I have a Vintage Radio app on my phone that has quite a few radio programs that I listen to every once in a while. I love old time radio. Thanks for a very informative and interesting video!
Never a dull moment with you Pat! This is very interesting. I am 56 and grew up with my mother and grandmother telling me all about the old radio programs. I have been able to find quite a few on TH-cam.
It has been a long time since I have heard these discs mentioned. As my father taught me audio engineering, he told me about transcription discs along w/other formats. Can't help but wonder if these were the forerunners of what we now call PSAs or public service announcements. Thank you so much for sharing these. Great topic!
I was wondering if this was the start of the Mockingbird media Propaganda campaigns,? Would be the connection between Hollywood, and C_A connection doing ads for the Gov!
Thanks for taking us down memory lane. My parents had a combination radio and record player. I believe it may have been a Phillips. Because the war was on you had to get a license to have it as there was short wave on it. Who remembers short wave. The records for that were 98 rpm. Later came 45 rpm and then LP's which were 33 rpm. I remember listening to Jack Benny and Rochestef, Dragnet and so many others. I still like radio though there aren't many programs.
I'm 65 and my dad was a great fan of old-time radio and I heard many stories. I've collected old radios since about 1971 and enjoy listening to shows like Fibber McGee and Molly, Jack Benny and Inner Sanctum. They really held up well. You can find them on TH-cam. Old school system record players were capable of playing these transcriptions--the large models with the separate speaker and large tone arm. Almost all radio shows were recorded on 16" transcriptions and that's why we have them to listen to today. They were replaced by magnetic tape, which was a lot less fragile.
We never heard of them because they were used by radio stations specifically for airing at special times. Promoted by large companies for things like the March of Dimes, Red Cross, Easter Seals, and war bonds.and government agencies. Lots of movie stars and celebrities. I wou love to listen to some of them.
Pat, I loved this video. I learned so much. I never knew any of this about radio transcription records. Thank you for sharing this information. I found it so fascinating. When you read those names I was in awe. Amazing! Gosh those names brought back memories from a time gone by. I can't wait to look at your Granny Pat merchandise. It's all so exciting. Love you Dear Friend. From Shirley in Hanover
Wow! That was interesting. I never saw or heard of anything like these. I would think you may come across someone who may. I wonder if in the future people will look at our old 33rpm records and wonder about them? Haha! Just joking. All the new artists are back to producing albums on vinyl. I wish we had one of those turntables too. I would love to hear some. Someone may contact you or maybe Jan thru her shop. Thanks for showing this. I just love learning and I can tell you do too!
Sirius Radio is a paid subscription radio service. It has a channel for Old Radio Shows ( that’s not the name but, you know what I mean). I listened to InterSanctum…..it was scary!
I'm 72, never heard of transcription discs. I had a small transistor radio, I would listen to it in bed, because I couldn't sleep. I also had a larger radio with a handle on it. I think it took 2 D batteries, I would take it to the beach.
Hi Granny Pat! You are amazing, dear friend. I remember so much of what you shared and learned interesting details. Very informative. Looking forward to ordering some of your Granny Pat items. Great video. Nancy from IN. ❤
This was fascinating thank you for showing These and explaining what they were i know yhat That one you said you would love to here THE CHRISTMAS THAT ALMOST WASN'T was a book and was made into a 1966 movie. I don't know if it is the same thing or not thought I would just let you know. Love your videos ❤
I tried to search for "cornell wild in liberty inn" couldn't find. Perhaps I'm misspelling .. if you have the spelling I will search some more 😊 oh wow I just saw the red disk wooow how special 🎉
Very interesting. I loved my records I used to have. I’m 60 and heard of mystery theater and my dad, talking about a transistor radio he used to listen to. But I’m not old enough to remember those. But it’s still interesting What would be neat is if we could hear what was on the transcriptions or whatever those huge records were. I’d love to hear it just for the fun of it.
@@chitchatwithgrannypat7900 my Dads 87 and lost his dad when he was 14 in Texas . But has many stories . I love his stories he tells with getting tears in his eyes.
Hi , Perry Como/Patricia!! I dont know if you're aware of this, but a those disk shows you're displaying are all on TH-cam to hear anytime. CBS Mstery Theater Old Time Radio Inner Sanctum Chesterton Radio, Proudly We Hail and more! Some even contain the old ads we used to hear and some include news from those days! Just in case you're interested in hearing those "disks" being still played on TH-cam. Even the Loretta young series❤
I am having trouble with it. I will get Jan to add it for me tomorrow. “I knew this would happen. Just be patient.” Maybe you can go directly to ETSY and find it under ( chitchatwithgrannypat). Let me know if that works.

I hate to disagree with my mother but yes, Amos and Andy would have been on one of these type transcriptions. What I bought were not those type radio shows. If they were they would be worth a lot of money. Jan
While far from an expert in turntables and, considering the number of years since I've used one, please take my comment with that in mind. It does seem reasonable to try to play these records on a standard turntable. You did mention that they can be played at 33-1/3 rpm. If you found an old portable record player, with a removable lid so the size of the disc does not matter, it seems plausible that you could actually hear the recordings. It is possible that you would need a special needle so I can't speak to that but, that aside, it doesn't seem like there would have to be a separate and special turntable to play these discs, regardless of the government warning that you need a specific turntable. In my youth I had a record player that played 78's, 33's and 45's on the same player so why would this be any different? I hope you and Jan will give my idea a try.
We would need a turn table with removable top. The record player I have is enclosed. The 16” disc would not fit. I would love to listen to some of these.

At 65+, loving this so far❤. I remember listening to radio mystery theater too. I still have most of my albums and treasure them
I am in my 30's, and I find this so interesting!

Thank you for sharing this with us. This was amazing.

Is this what programs like Amos and Andy were played on?
No! These were mostly programs originated for things like The March of Dimes, Easter Seals, Red Cross, etc. you may remember shows like Bob Hope, Dinah Shore, Glenn Miller’s Orchestra. Things to get money for children, special needs, military. Programs to bring life and spirit back into the people. I am guessing at the government’s causings and reasons. The shows and stars donated their time for worthy causes.
