WORLD ADVENTURER'S CLUB The year is 1932, and the nation is still suffering from the effects of the Great Depression, recovery is in sight, fueled by industry success as much as government programs. The listeners of The World Adventerer’s Club and other travelogue series in this early part of radio’s Golden Age were offered glimpses of exotic places and extraordinary events without leaving their own front room. The renewed interest in far off lands and cultures was, at least in part, also a reflection of the political situation. Many nations during this time were expanding their influence around the globe establishing colonies and outposts. Digitised by the Old Time Radio Researchers and streamed from the Internet Archive item “OTRR_World_Adventurer_Club_Singles”; these recordings are in the public domain.
