radio shows for seniors in nursing homes

recently, it occurred to me that they would love to listen to favorite old time radio shows, too, and i borrowed the few our local library had and they were a BIG HIT!!
i wish i could afford to buy lots of these tapes i see on websites, but i really can't.
i was wondering if anyone had any of the light, humorous radio show tapes and would be willing to donate them to "the cause".

these small things bring many happy hours to many dear people!

thank you and God Bless!

You might consider joining one or more of the OTR clubs listed at this (or other) sites. You can then borrow / rent tapes from them, just as you would from a library, but for a small fee.

If your financial condition is such that even that small expense is overwhelming, consider a one-time investment in a suitable, used MP3 player, and get on one or more of the MP3 / CD-Rom distribution lists.

Even better, if the shows are indeed helpful or entertaining to the folks in the nursing homes. Approach that establishment's Activities Director, and see if they will purchase a playback device (or some tapes) for the establishment.

Unfortunately, if there is no one to champion the cause, any tapes donated to the establishment will probably molder away in a box in a storage room. To be successful, a "Memories of OTR" effort needs both an active volunteer and a few tapes.
