Thank you for the “rebroadcast” of these early TWTD programs. Caught on and been following since the late 80’s, early 90’s. Many of these shows are new to me now. You’re 50 year anniversary coverage of WW2 starting in the 90’s really hooked me into TWTD. Radio at the time was the ‘internet’ of today, the fastest mode of broadcasting information. You’re blend of both war time radio coverage and popular broadcasts of the time really help those of us born later get to know the time. Cannot find any other source that has covered this time as well as TWTD did . Am currently re-listening again to you’re ’94 3 week-end broadcast of the D-Day coverage,…should be required listening for any history fan. Please keep filling in these TWTD files, both the ‘new’ one’s to me and and the others I would love to remember. Hope you can find a way to preserve all these TWTD broadcast’s, for many of us now, this is how we came to love ‘old radio’. Thank you again, Jim Giustino
