The man who kept the Golden Age of Radio alive in Chicago for nearly 40 years has a priceless collection of his own greatest hits. Esteemed broadcast historian Chuck Schaden owns SpeakingofRadio.com, an interactive website he informally bills as “a pop culture trip through the radio days of the 20th century.” It features links to nearly 200 exclusive interviews he recorded over the years with some of the brightest stars and creative giants of radio’s heyday. Schaden, who retired in 2009 after 39 years as host and producer of the weekly radio showcase "Those Were the Days", said he plans to upload more than 250 of the conversations that originally aired on his show. Along with each interview are links to vintage old time radio programs featuring the respective performers. Each week a new four hour encore broadcast of "Those Were The Days" (1970-2009) is presented in it's entirety.
