The Yiddish Radio Project
Oh Mama, I'm So in Love
by
The Yiddish Radio Project explores the rich world of Yiddish-language radio and the people, performances, and stories that shaped it. Its recordings offer a window into a vibrant broadcast culture, where entertainment and everyday life met over the airwaves.
Listeners encounter the sounds and traditions of Yiddish radio through archival material and contextual storytelling. The program brings forward a distinctive mix of language, music, humor, and drama, reflecting the experiences of Jewish communities and the expressive range of their radio performers.
Warm, lively, and rooted in a particular cultural history, the project makes these broadcasts accessible to listeners unfamiliar with Yiddish radio while preserving the character of the original performances. “Oh Mama, I'm So in Love” is the episode title.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
