A Radio Postcard Journey - 59

This Radio Walkman postcard, reminiscent of the iconic "His Master's Voice" imagery but with a radio twist, has surfaced. Printed in England in 1988 by Reflex Publishing and Licensing Ltd and marketed by Reflex Marketing Ltd of Lingborough, England, the postcard features a furry terrier seemingly captivated by the sounds emanating from a red Sanyo portable AM, FM Radio cassette player. The dog is depicted with one headphone over its ear, its mouth open in what could be a bark of enjoyment or perhaps an attempt to sing along.

This radio-themed postcard was recently sent by Petra from Nederland, adding an international touch to this piece of vintage ephemera. The postcard's design playfully evokes the historical association of dogs and recorded sound, making it a delightful snapshot of late 20th-century popular culture.

A Radio Postcard Journey - 23

Thrilled to add this charming vintage postcard to my collection! It's a snapshot of the past, featuring the Radio Times magazine cover, "Whitsun Number" from May 18, 1934.

This is cover number 11 in the "101 Classic Covers" series of the iconic Radio Times. The whimsical illustration is by the talented Stanley Herbert, capturing a delightful scene of the Whitsun holiday spirit.

A special thank you to Diane from the US, who sent this postcard through Postcrossing! It's amazing how a little piece of paper can travel across continents and connect people through shared interests.
