Back of the Mike - How Radio Sound Effects are Made (1930's)

Not related to Behind the Mike, but very interesting to watch.

Begins with the visualization of what the boy is thinking listening to the radio, you can see what is meant by "Theater of the Mind", but when you get to the part in the radio studio, get ready to be entertained watching how the sounds were made.
