The Tesla City Stories have been presenting an evening of live “radio” theater derived from the recently uncovered archives of the ultra-obscure Tesla Broadcasting Company (1943-1945). In addition to the live performances, we now bring you the shows recorded in the studio with all this new fangled and fancy technology! The shows of the TBC run the gamut from sitcom to thriller, from mystery to romantic-comedy, with forays into westerns, sci-fi and horror to boot. But all of these shows, regardless of genre, are tied to the fictional locale of Tesla City. That’s part of what makes the output of the TBC so unique and sought-after by historians and collectors. It’s “pop archaeology” as performance art, or, more simply, fun episodes of vintage radio straight outta 1944 brought to life again.

I love the originality of this show! I’ve been going to the live performances since 2018. The voices of the actors bring the characters alive! To have them in podcast form is a great way to revive the world of Tesla City Broadcasting, filled with fun, quirky, and interesting characters. This unique experience in radio serials will transport you back in time to 1944 via the 21st century.
