Hi Gang...
         This is William Wilde

Welcome to theWild World of William Wilde!

      

Long, long ago... in a now
   by-gone and nearly forgotten era of
"Free Recorded Telephone Entertainment"

A  remarkably huge and loyal audience dialed up weekly  programs produced by a small & dedicated group of individuals known  as  "line runners". These 'line runners' and their callers made up a sizable sub-culture, often reffered to as
  Z Z   "The Phone World".  Z Z

I had the great luck and privilege to have been a part of the "Phone World" by virture of having produced and hosted an awarding winning FREE RECORDED TELEPHONE ENTERTAINMENT & COMMENT LINE called "THE WILDESIDE".

The "Wildeside" was created to replace another long running and hugely
popular line produced and hosted by film-maker PAUL MACK (aka
Paul Bunnell)

This site is still under construction and in it's infancy, but eventually it will be the repository of my ramblings and recollections on the subject of "The Phone World"
and my participation in it... including audio/wav files of Comedy 'Drop-ins', audio clips from classic entertainment and comment lines like; THE WILDESIDE, THE OBSERVATORY, FEEDBACK, TELE-PHUN, THE R.E.C. NETWORK, THE MOVIELINE, ORANGE CO CONNECTION, THE PARTYLINE... ETC, ETC.
I will also include any and all photos that I can manage to unearth such as the one below of myself and the incomparable NINO TELE-PHUN in the "studio".
