Wouldn't it be great if you could listen to Abbott and Costello and other classic radio shows?
Yesterday, I wrote about the idea of using the Amazon Echo to play podcasts. This not only opens the door to new broadcasters, but it also has the potential to give people a chance to re-live the Golden Age of Radio.
It's a shame that most of the shows from the Golden Age of Radio haven't been heard in decades. Before TV came along, the biggest names in show business were on the radio, and just about everyone tuned in every day to hear their favorite shows.
Just think of the possible shows... Just imagine asking "Alexa, play..."
Bob Hope
The Lone Ranger
George Burns
Abbott and Costello
Milton Berle
Blondie
Bing Crosby
Batman
The Life of Riley
Buck Rogers
Al Jolson
Orson Welles
Gunsmoke
Amos and Andy
Charlie Chan
The main point is that since the Amazon Echo is an audio device, Amazon should consider exploring more audio programming options.
