YouTube Channel - Five Years!


Brian Kavanaugh
 

Five years ago today, I started a YouTube channel for the Old Time Radio Researchers Group. It can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/c/OldTimeRadioResearchers. I've recently been doing some reorganization of the main page, changing the sections to be genre-based to hopefully make it easier to find the series we have posted. 
 
Here are some statistics for our channel:
  • Number of series: 161 (includes five series scheduled to be released the next two months)
