CONELRAD Civil Defense Radio Instructions Part 1

You're listening now to Part 1 of several radio adds, tips and instructions by CONELRAD Civil Defense Radio for what to do in the Case of a nuclear atttack on the U.S.A. Even some stars (Conny Francis,Johnny Cash etc.) of those days are promoting.
The radio records are from ~ 1956. Thank God that CONELRAD never went into action except in drills!

Watch the movie "The Atomic Cafe" -- it's a compilation of US government propaganda films from the 1940s and '50s. It has all the classics, including "Duck and Cover", but my very favorite is a theatrical short assuring men (only -- apparently this wasn't a concern for women) that radiation-induced hair loss would be temporary, and easily covered by a hairpiece if you wanted to bother. (The visual effects strongly implied that it would also look EXACTLY like male-pattern baldness.)

Should have been in fallout

@Darkshade0115 It is, if you own the PC version, and aren't against mods. ;) Just search fallout mods conelrad, should find it. I have it. It puts another station on your pipboy. I think it has like 30 minutes of authentic conelrad recordings, and a bunch of atomic related music from that age(50s, etc). Fits right in.

@cairne13 That's surprisingly accurate when compared to other transcriptions I've seen using Transcribe Audio. I've seen the word "Wyoming" used in it's transcription of "If I Were A Rich Man".
