Houdini on radio
Here's a clipping from The Houston Post, November 5, 1923 announcing a radio address by Houdini on "The Sane Side of Spiritualism." It's not generally known that Houdini often spoke over the radio. In fact, the very day he was struck in his dressing room by J. Gordon Whitehead he gave a radio interview. I've always wondered how it's possible that not one of these radio addresses has survived. I have a fantasy that one day one will be discovered in some radio archive and we will once again hear Houdini "over ether."

I cant believe that a recording of some of these broadcasts do not exist in drawer, vault or attic somewhere. What a find to be able to hear Houdini talk for 15 minutes...
ReplyDeleteMy question to someone who knows about the history of radio is -- was it ONLY a live medium back in the 1920s? When did recorded radio come into being?
