I agree about audiobooks. When I read, I devote 100% concentration to the words. With AB's though, I get no enjoyment from just sitting staring at the walls while listening. If I do something else at the same time, I waste too much time on the rewind button because I think I may have missed something.

I just love OTR and archive.org is a real treasure. My current favorite is "You Bet Your Life" with Groucho Marx. The episodes are around 20 minutes long and they never fail to give me a good laugh.

I also highly recommend "Lux Radio Theater" - first class (mainly) dramas by the major stars of the day.
