Podcasters Combine to Create Largest Nostalgia Podcasting Network

RMN was founded in May 2005 by Dennis Humphrey, an educator, author, and web developer from Dallas, Texas. The network began as a collaboration of old-time radio collectors and historians who present weekly shows, each focusing on a different aspect of pre-1950 radio programming.

The original line-up includes:

Radio Journeys, a "historical recreation" of radio as it sounded in the 1920s and '30s, produced by teacher, writer and Internet broadcaster John Grimmett.

Radio Adventures and Radio Detectives, two shows produced by web developer Jim Widner, who runs the Radio Days website, and focusing early radio adventure serials and crime dramas.

Western Wednesday, hosted by Humphrey and featuring western radio series of the 1930s, '40s, and '50s.

The TuckerMike Show, produced by graphic designer-turned-radio host Mike Tucker, who presents a tongue-in-cheek look at old radio comedy.

Sci-Fi Friday, produced by Brian Lane, a science fiction collector.

Big Band Serenade, produced by Humphrey, featuring both old radio big band shows and studio recordings by the most famous big bands and singers.

Tears of Yesteryear, produced bi-weekly by veteran radio DJ John March, focusing on old radio soap operas.

Yesterday USA was founded by Bragg in 1983 in Richardson, Texas, as the "voice of the National Museum of Communications," which Bragg also founded. It was originally available over satellite. With the advent of the Internet in the mid-1990s, it became available as an Internet stream.
