QUITE THE STIR INTRODUCES BUNGALOW RADIO

From Creators of Quite The Stir Bungalow
We Proudly
Introduce Bungalow Radio



The era of radio voices wisped into WWII homes with regularity during the 1940s.  The Red, White and Blue American family gathered together, with kith and kin, around their living rooms and kitchens to listen to the radio news.  GI Joes or Janes and Rosie The Riveter would tune in, when time would allow, by the lights of dingy factory break room or nightly by a comforting radio glow.

Americans listened, intently, as history unfolded a swathe of grandeur or milieu of terror across radio airways.  Every man, woman and child of the 1940s was enlightened of  sorrow, joy, hope, laughter, tragedy and war. Astounding events that shaped our very lives today were sent to them yesterday.  A link to the outside world could be had by simply listening to radio and the confident assuring radio broadcasters of The Greatest Generation.





Humility must always be the portion of any man who receives acclaim earned in blood of his followers and sacrifices of his friends.                                                        
                                                         General Dwight D. Eisenhower

We are not retreating -- we are advancing in another direction.
                                                                               General Douglas MacArthur

  1. It's amazing to see how far we've come with technology. Though the "radio days" were before my time, my mother has told me stories of how they all used to sit around the radio and wait for their favorite shows to come on. It's hard to imagine not having anything to "watch" though.
