I heard this familiar song before. and yea. there is a movie (a short film, 9 minutes before) warning you about the cold war and this short film named Duck and Cover

 

[ColeThePony]

And here's the short film itself:

 

[ColeThePony]

before EBS on the radio. There was Conelrad. Those alerts aired on 640 or 1240 (AM) during the wars.

Here's the ad itself:

And here is the Conelrad broadcast from July:

I am off to bed. Tomorrow i will share more war stuff from the classic days. remember, radio nerds. DUCK AND COVER!

 

[ColeThePony]

And lest we forget for those who died. More war stuff for Remembrance Day tomorrow from the classic days!

 

[ColeThePony]

More short films and PSAs about the cold war!

There is a UK version of Conelrad. Aka "Wartime Broadcasting System", aired on BBC Radio 4 back in the past. sadly i can't find the full broadcast. but i found a transcript from that broadcast from Wikipedia

This is the Wartime Broadcasting Service. This country has been attacked with nuclear weapons. Communications have been severely disrupted, and the number of casualties and the extent of the damage are not yet known. We shall bring you further information as soon as possible. Meanwhile, stay tuned to this wavelength, stay calm and stay in your own homes.


Remember there is nothing to be gained by trying to get away. By leaving your homes you could be exposing yourselves to greater danger. If you leave, you may find yourself without food, without water, without accommodation and without protection. Radioactive fall-out, which follows a nuclear explosion, is many times more dangerous if you are directly exposed to it in the open. Roofs and walls offer substantial protection. The safest place is indoors.

Make sure gas and other fuel supplies are turned off and that all fires are extinguished. If mains water is available, this can be used for fire-fighting. You should also refill all your containers for drinking water after the fires have been put out, because the mains water supply may not be available for very long.

Water must not be used for flushing lavatories: until you are told that lavatories may be used again, other toilet arrangements must be made. Use your water only for essential drinking and cooking purposes. Water means life. Don't waste it.

Make your food stocks last: ration your supply, because it may have to last for fourteen days or more. If you have fresh food in the house, use this first to avoid wasting it: food in tins will keep.

If you live in an area where a fall-out warning has been given, stay in your fall-out room until you are told it is safe to come out. When the immediate danger has passed the sirens will sound a steady note. The "all clear" message will also be given on this wavelength. If you leave the fall-out room to go to the lavatory or replenish food or water supplies, do not remain outside the room for a minute longer than is necessary.

Do not, in any circumstances, go outside the house. Radioactive fall-out can kill. You cannot see it or feel it, but it is there. If you go outside, you will bring danger to your family and you may die. Stay in your fall-out room until you are told it is safe to come out or you hear the "all clear" on the sirens.

Here are the main points again:

Stay in your own homes, and if you live in an area where a fall-out warning has been given stay in your fall-out room, until you are told it is safe to come out. The message that the immediate danger has passed will be given by the sirens and repeated on this wavelength. Make sure that the gas and all fuel supplies are turned off and that all fires are extinguished.

Water must be rationed, and used only for essential drinking and cooking purposes. It must not be used for flushing lavatories. Ration your food supply: it may have to last for fourteen days or more.

We shall repeat this broadcast in two hours' time. Stay tuned to this wavelength, but switch your radios off now to save your batteries until we come on the air again. That is the end of this broadcast.

@RadioJonD Is there a New Year's Eve Audio Sources / Radio Broadcast thread or is it on there?

 

[RadioJonD]

@RadioJonD Is there a New Year's Eve Audio Sources / Radio Broadcast thread or is it on there?

There's not one. I usually just tack on public radio New Year shows in the annual Christmas schedule/programming thread.

That doesn’t mean we can’t have a dedicated thread though. Or, put them here.

I grew up in the era of Conelrad!

 

[ColeThePony]

oh. thanks for the info, RadioJonD.

 

[ColeThePony]

Well. I missed the 2018 Opening Day for Major League Baseball yesterday as well. I should be demoted or fired (like a twinkie).

But, then again, you didn't post anything either!



Check out this archive from syndicated public radio show "American Routes" for some more Baseball tunes and interviews.

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME: SPORTS & MUSIC
October 17th, 2007

Feel the thrill of victory as we hear the connections between sports and music in American life. With the World Series upon us, we’ll hear songs about baseball and its heroes in jazz and blues, country and folk. Plus comments from Yankee centerfielder and guitarist Bernie Williams and 1969 Miracle Met (and music lover) Ron Swoboda. And get tips on hitting and the harmonica from Stan “The Man” Musial. In hour two, it’s the music of basketball, boxing, horseracing and football. Meet the bugler at Churchill Downs, and hear about the pull of music from pianist and New Orleans Saints’ cornerback Ashley Ambrose. See you at the game.
