Old Time Radio

I'm a fan to Old Time Radio. It's a great medium that has been mostly ignored, but I recommend that people try. I want to spread the joy of OTR by critiquing the episodes I've heard. The catalogs for OTR say every show is great, but here's a way for people to see at least what one person recommends. Right now, I'm starting with a review of episodes of a great science fiction series, called X Minus One. Add your own comments, if you'd like.

For the OTR fans that like to swap programs, you can view my modest collection by selecting the radio.

Besides X Minus One and Dimension X, I also really like Jimmy Stewart's The Six Shooter, the master story teller as presented in Damon Runyan Theater, the classic shows of Suspense and Escape featuring about every star of the pre-TV era, like Cary Grant, Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre, Vincent Price, Humphrey Bogart, Lucille Ball, and Edward G. Robinson. And for comedy, I enjoy the standards, like Jack Benny, Burns & Allen, and Amos & Andy.

I have the ability to store my OTR tapes on MP3 files, so we can trade shows through e-mail.
