<article><p>
Recollections at 30 is a radio show created to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the National Broadcasting Company (NBC). The show compiles various archival recordings into a 25-minute format, with some episodes following a theme or focusing on popular radio programs or honoring famous people. Utilizing a vast range of recordings, the series covers subjects such as historical events, popular culture, and music from the past. Additionally, the show solicits ideas from listeners and honors their requests, which often includes featuring some of the earliest recordings in radio history.</p><p>The show was broadcast between 1956 and 1957 on NBC, airing a total of 45 episodes. With the first show produced on June 20, 1956, and the final broadcast on May 1, 1957, the series delved into the earlier days of radio in the 1930s, highlighting stars like Sophie Tucker, Al Jolson, Red Skelton, and more. The show also included listener-requested children&#39;s programs, as well as the earliest known broadcast from their sound library, which was from June 11, 1927. Listeners not only enjoyed listening to the old shows but also appreciated the context provided, making the experience even more delightful.
