S2.E5. Mail by History Colorado published on 2022-08-02T21:31:17Z Keeping in touch with relatives back East helped new Coloradans feel less disconnected from home, so a postal carrier’s job was quite important. This episode is Mail. Echoes from The Collection is a 15-minute historical drama that takes the listener back to the golden age of radio. The first season features dramatic readings drawn from the Civil Works Administration (CWA) Pioneer Interviews conducted by New Deal historians in the 1930s.
