You are bidding on a collection of episodes from the old time radio program "You Are There". This unique historic drama from the Golden Age of Radio features 84 shows on one MP3 CD, and a freeware software MP3 player is included.

"You Are There" gives the listener a real "you are there" feeling as it recreates historic events from world history. From the assisnation of President Abraham Lincoln to the Wright Brothers first flight, from the battle of Gettysburg to the charge of the Light Brigade, you, the listener are given the events as they unfold.  Created by Goodman Ace (of "Easy Aces" fame) for the Columbia Broadcasting System, it take an entire network newsroom back in time each week to report the great events of the past. Picture CNN on the radio, covering past events.  The introduction was "CBS asks you to imagine that our microphone is present at this unforgettable moment.  All things are as they were then, except, when CBS is there, YOU are there!" The shows were based on documented facts and are told in the present tense by newsmen covering these great events as they unfold before their eyes.  The show used veteran real-life newsmen,  while host/anchorman Don Hollenbeck organized field reports and summarized the unfolding situations. Among the reporters you will hear are John Daly (The Timex "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking" spokesman), and the late Douglas Edwards, the man whom Walter Cronkite replaced on the televised CBS Evening News.

It used to be you could only listen MP3 files on your computer's CD or DVD drive. But newer CD/DVD players may be capable of playing MP3 files in their native format. So you are not limited to only your computer. But you should check with the manufacturer of your player for this capability. It is also possible to transfer these programs to an iPod using iTunes. That is how I listen to them, and the results are quite good.
