Grandma's Been There
Host and creator Siobhan Barry takes listeners back to the 1950s and 1960s. Her stories, sometimes funny and sometimes serious, are time traveling trips through the days of penny candies, neighborhood ice cream parlors, fifty-cent movie tickets, air raid drills, summers without air conditioning, street games, homemade toys, football weddings, transistor radios, Beatlemania, and a cultural revolution.

This week, as we tumble down the wormhole, we're going straight past the 1960s and 1950s and time traveling back to the early 1940s.

Come with me and let me introduce you to some "Unknown Legends."
