Joe takes a nostalgic look at his childhood in Rockaway, New York, during the golden age of radio in the late 1930s and 1940s, and shows how his family’s daily life links with the dramas, comedies, adventures and personalities broadcast on the radio. Woody Allen's absolutely delightful comedy-drama delivers a lightly-plotted series of vignettes, which show how the sounds and stories of radio shaped peoples' lives and memories. The ensemble cast is terrific.
