This is the first time I've seen this thread. I'm very much a fan of OTR. I'm 75 so to me it's not that old time. I grew up listening to radio in the days before TV. I was 14 when we got our first TV, the first in our neighborhood, and up till then everything was on radio. Even after that we all listened to radio more than watch TV for a few years. There were just more good things on radio in the early days of TV.
I also had an early tape recorder when I was a kid so I managed to record some of those shows and I listened to them for years, finally wearing out the tapes. About that time I managed to find a few shows on cassette and listen to them. Then later on MP3. So really I've never stopped listening to them. I still probably listen to 4 or 5 OTR shows a week, most weeks. Sometimes a lot more.
These days my favorites are Gunsmoke, Dragnet, Night Beat, Damon Runyon and a lot of the anthology shows. I listen to a lot of others as well but these are my staples. Oh wait. I almost left out Halls of Ivy. I never heard of that one till recent years and I just don't understand why!
This is fun stuff to talk about.
