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.
