Voicemail Valentine
Manage episode 252704105 series 1297243
Nowadays we’re very accustomed to recording and hearing the sound of our own voices. But in the 1930s many people were doing it for the first time. And a surprising trend began. People started sending their voices to each other, through the postal service. It was literally: voice-mail.
We combed through a large collection of early voicemail at the Phono Post Archive, and we discovered that many of these audio letters have the same subject matter: love.
You can see photographs of the voice-o-graphs on our website: http://www.radiodiaries.org/a-voicemail-valentine/
