??????????????? Hello to all you fans of nostalgic media out there!?
You are receiving this email because somewhere along the line, you have purchased some item or supported or thought about or joined, a group that is involved with or related to vintage audio. In particular, and to be specific, classic, golden-age radio programs.?
?? How many of you know the name Frederic W. Ziv? Uh-huh. And how many of you know the names Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall? I thought so.
?? How many of you have heard of the Bold Venture radio program which starred Bogart and Bacall? Oh.
Yes, that's right. They did, and it was an action / adventure series. They did 78 programs in total of the Bold Venture show. 18 of the programs have not been heard in the 70 years plus, since they were last broadcast over the airwaves.
?? Bold Venture was a crown jewel in the collection of 41 different radio serials produced and owned by Frederic W. Ziv, king of all radio and television syndicators.
?? Ziv's personal, private collection of over 10,000 transcription discs was recently licensed to Carl Amari. Amari, a long-time collector and rights licensee of old time radio programs, wants to preserve them for posterity as digital audio files and make them available for all to enjoy. There is a reason this collection has never been licensed before, it is an expensive proposition!
Because it is so expensive, a Kickstarter is necessary. You can find the project at the following link:? This project goes livethis coming Saturday, September 23rd!!
?? Please help make these programs publicly available by pledging any amount you feel comfortable with.
No money is collected until the pledges equal or exceed the goal needed, and the 60 days elapse. If the goal is not reached in 60 days, nothing happens at all. The project dies like it never happened. No money is collected. No rewards are sent.?
?? If this Kickstarter succeeds, there will be future ones for other Ziv shows such as Boston Blackie, I Was a Communist for the FBI, Mr. District Attorney, Cisco Kid, and Favorite Story, just to name a few.
?? Have a look at the pre-launch and make sure you go back when it is live on the 23^rd of September!!
?? The link again is

Here is the YUSA link. It currently goes to the pre-launch page but goes live on the 23rd.

?? Please ask any questions you might have. We want this Kickstarter to succeed!
Thank you so much for your time.
