Radio shows back then are so different from radio shows now. Now all you hear is strictly what the radio host thinks you want to hear. Things like music, weather alerts, traffic updates, and talk shows. The radio is more interactive now, asking fans to call in and let them know what they think of that days show, or give a request for something they want to hear. They even give away free things on the radio today. Its not as much or a necessity today as it was back in the day. Listening to Webber and Fields Routine through old time radio you realize how different it is back then, from now. People listened to the radio like we watched TV. They had many different varieties from comedy to action. Listening to Webber and Fields routine really helped me open up my imagination. Your really have to imagine everything that they are saying. They have to over exaggerate their voice in order for you to imagine what they are saying. Its like a show made just to exercise your brain. Webber and Fields routine was a comedy act that really kept you laughing. It's interesting to see what they found funny then, and what we find funny now. It is really different. Their bickering and name calling is a fun routine to listen to. I love the crackling in the background, it makes you feel like you are back in that time period sitting on the floor with your family listening to Webber and Fields yourself.
