Contains letters and postcards.

This series consists of the correspondence received by Géza Ekecs, the long-time editor of a very popular musical program of the Hungarian Broadcasting Department called Teenager Party. The program, which he lead under the pseudonym of Cseke László, existed between 1959-1992. In most of the cases the letters, which were sent by listeners from all over Hungary and the neighboring countries and somehow found their ways through the Iron Curtain, contained requests for certain pop-rock musical pieces to be broadcast in the program.
