THOSE OF US WHO COLLECT OLD TIME RADIO PROGRAMS ARE INVOLVED IN A FASCINATING COLLECTOR'S PASTIME KNOWN AS "OTR;" OLD TIME RADIO. I COULD NEVER BEGIN TO LIST ALL THE GREAT RADIO PROGRAMS THAT I LISTENED TO AS A YOUNG BOY, AND THEN INTO ADULTHOOD. THE DAILY EPISODES OF TERRY AND THE PIRATES, HOP HARRIGAN, TOM MIX, AND LATER, THE LUX RADIO THEATER, MR. DISTRICT ATTORNEY, GANG BUSTERS, THE GREAT GILDERSLEEVE, AMOS AND ANDY, LUM AND ABNER.....I COULD GO ON AND ON. THANKFULLY, THOUSANDS OF THOSE OLD RADIO SHOWS ARE AVAILABLE IN MP3 FORMAT. I AM BUILDING A COLLECTION AND LULL MYSELF TO SLEEP EVERY NIGHT LISTENING TO JEAN SHEPARD, SPEED GIBSON, HOP HARRIGAN, DICK TRACY, OR COUNTLESS OTHER RADIO SHOWS I HAVE IN MY NUMEROUS MP3 PLAYERS.
FOR THOSE VISITORS TO THIS WEBSITE WHO ARE NOT FAMILIAR BUT INTERESTED IN OLD TIME RADIO ("OTR"), CHECK INTO EBAY AND SEARCH FOR "OTR," OR "OLD TIME RADIO." YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE HOW MANY HOURS YOU CAN GET ON A CD AT SUCH AN INCREDIBLY LOW COST, AND HOW EASY IT IS TO DOWNLOAD THE PROGRAMS INTO YOUR MINI MP3 PLAYER. WHO NEEDS AUDIO BOOKS WHEN YOU CAN LISTEN TO EVERYTHING FROM WWII WAR NEWS TO THE OLD "SUSPENSE" OR "INNER SANCTUM" RADIO DRAMATIZATIONS?
