Old Time Radio:

From Sci-fi to Westerns to Mysteries to Comedies, I love it all.

Hopefully this will be a place that we can discuss OTR... but this thread has been around a while and no one has posted here except me, hehe. Is it a lack of OTR fans... or a lack of knowledge about this thread's existence, I wonder...

Anywho! I hope there are some of you out there that like OTR! I think there are one or two I have spotted... there may be more...


Some Great OTR sites that I love:

A great OTR program in the 1960s was The Story Lady. It was a hilarious parody of fairy tales! Check out the thread and samples on my putfile account: http://www.christiananime.com/showthread.php?t=33072

Atten all OTR fans,

Today at 4pm Mountain time, go to the Words of Freedom Radio show website & tune into some cool OTR episodes Superman, Roy Rogers &I think they'll be playing The Shadow too!

Have any of you ever heard of Stan Freeberg? He was definately one of the funniest guys ever...He brought along the monty python style humor before they did.

umn.. no... did he have a show?

Have you heard of Jack Benny? Well Stan Freeberg had a show for a few weeks as a filler for the break in between the seasons of the Jack Benny Show.

I only have two words for you Linkquest.


Ohhhh My!

I love Jack Benny! Ermn... I didn't know that... I'll have to check my Jack Benny Episodes...

Well I don't think that he'd be on the Jack Benny thing because it was just a show to keep people entertained because the Jack Benny show was on a break. Have any of you heard The Shadow? That was a good show.

YESS shadow is classic! They had a bunch of different voice actors for the part of "The Shadow" over the years. I have a favorite... but I can't remember his name,


Where do you get your audio collections, and how did you get into OTR?

I get some of mine from the links listed in my first post in this thread... I got into it after listening to an episode of "my favorite husband" on the radio and after my parents gave me some cassete tapes of Sherlock Holmes and The Shadow.

I usually listen to a show on WAMU every sunday night 7-11pm (eastern time). It is a local broadcasting station here in "Merryland," however, you can listen to it online at WAMU.org live from 7-11PM every sunday night or you can listen to the BIG BROADCAST episode from the previous week that they keep on there site at this link: http://www.wamu.org/programs/bb/index.php

I have recently been listening to X minus One! I love this show! It's introducing me to many sci-fi writers that I haven't heard of before. Really awesome writing and acting all around. I only wish that Galaxy Magazine was still around so I could read it!

X Minus One was a fun show to listen to. They definately had some neat stories. For some reason it reminds me of another old mystery/horror show called Lights Out.

I really like Lights Out as well... what other OTR shows do you/have you listened to?

Oh I listened to quite a bit of them. One's like...George Burns And Gracie Allen show, The Shadow, Johny Dollar, Lone Ranger, Sam Spade, Duffy's Tavern, Abott And Costello Show, and The Green Hornet to name a few.

Right now I'm listening to the Bickerons, they are pretty good!

I was never really a fan of the bickering bickersons. To annoying I thought. A good comedy was the Charley Macarthy show.

I have finally gotten ahold of a good amount of Jack Benny programs! Such a great show! That is what I am listening to these days in the world of OTR!

I honestly haven't listened to much OTR lately...They changed the time slots on the station that I listened to them on to some time late at night. And I've been away from my folks place for a few months so I don't have access to any of the tapes we have.

There is also a 4 hour OTR show that comes on every Sunday from 7-11 PM @ this site: http://www.wamu.org/

Awesome! I'm listening to Johnny Dollar right now. Such a great show.

Suspense and the Whistler are also a couple of good ones.
But the Shadow defiantly is my favorite. “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men. The Shadow knows. *evil laughter*â€

The Shadow is definately one of the best. I've listened to a good %70 of all the Shadow broadcasts.
