Undercover Radio -
The Fifties On Air


A young man growing up in Missouri, another growing up in Virginia
and yet another in far away New Zealand.

They were all drawn together by one common love and exploring a world
far beyond their local towns. In 'Undercover Radio' the new Popular
Culture feature of the Radio Heritage Foundation at
www.radioheritage.net you'll be drawn into their world from The
Fifties.

Bob Dylan, Bill Hester and Keith Robinson lived thousands of miles
apart, but were connected through the airwaves to the same radio
stations, the same DJs and the same music at the same time.

With extracts from memoirs and colorfully illustrated with popular
magazines of the time, personal letters from the DJs at radio
stations and beautiful artwork of station logos and much more, Bill
Hester's 'coming of age' story comes alive for new generations who
enjoy the music of Bob Dylan.

Releasing the new feature at www.radioheritage.net, the Radio
Heritage Foundation says 'This story captures a moment in time when
musical influences from all over could beam into one tiny transistor
radio held under the bedsheets and have a profound influence on the
development of popular music as we know it today'.

'It nicely ties together our long held belief that radio heritage is
more than just dusty old cards, letters and photos, fading memories
and scratchy records - and connects not only people and places, but
the popular culture of a significant era in time'.

>From WOR New York, KYW Philadelphia, WSB Atlanta, WBAL Baltimore, and
many hundreds more stations across the eastern seaboard and mid-west
of the USA, the sounds of The Fifties swept across the nation and
across the world.

'Undercover Radio' at www.radioheritage.net is entertaining,
informative and when you listen to Bob Dylan's music from now on,
you'll always hear the echoes of those magical radio airwaves and the
music, ideas and influences that crossed so many borders.

The Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization
connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage across the
Pacific. Our global website is www.radioheritage.net.
