brucesw Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 JR Gonzales of the Bayou City History blog in the Chron has come across some old tapes of a Marvin Zindler produced and hosted crime report program from the early 50s on KATL (the original call letters on 1590). He's publishing a series of articles on it this month complete with audio clips.It's great stuff for history buffs and radio buffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have the next post up on Monday.There are some other, non-Marvin stuff I'll post after I run through "The Roving Mike" this month.In all, there's about 8 hours worth of audio I'm dealing with here.

Retama Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 This stuff is gold! Tabloid radio!Growing up, I knew a guy who had been a Houston cop from the 1940s to the 1970s and the stories he told made me want to write an "underground" history of Houston.
