TUMradio
Broadcasting from the 20th century.
I was quite a shy child and instead of enjoying fresh air and sport with my school chums, I was cooped up in my bedroom becoming increasingly fascinated with radio and sound.
Nearly all of this material comes from tapes which I recorded. Instead of taping over material I’d simply buy more cassettes.
I’ve ended up with a whole box of tapes, the digitisation of which is the basis of this YouTube channel.
