For the past seven years, the National Film and Sound Archive has commissioned a special radio program to celebrate the golden years of Australian radio. Theatre of the Mind is produced and hosted by popular radio historian Bruce Leonard. The show, which is recorded at Sydney's 2NSB-FM, features a selection of the classic drama, comedy, variety shows, serials, quizzes, plays and children's shows which were popular on radio from the 30s to the 50s. Theatre of the Mind is currently broadcast on more than 50 community, ABC and commercial radio stations each week. If you have any radio serials you'd like to donate to the National Film and Sound Archive, please contact us at collection@nfsa.gov.au
