The Home Front
“The stirring drama of the war years, told through voice and song by people who lived it. The Home Front is an audio program prepared for radio broadcast. It is a composite of songs, music, newscasts and commentary that presents
a view of the years 1938-1945. It even includes pauses for commercials, “We’ll be right back. . . .”
Three veteran broadcast journalists share the narration. The recordings of famous people’s voices, from Princess Elizabeth speaking to the children evacuated from the London Blitz to Humphrey Bogart delivering lines from Casablanca, are the highlights of the series. The script of historical events is blended with original soundtracks of movies, Broadway shows and news broadcasts.”

I've been listening to this series for the last two hours as I've been completing some boring household chores. Amazing how well this production is able to evoke the spirit of the war years with well placed snippits of song and movie sound bites. It's been a real treat.
Thanks for sharing this, Rick.
