Which skills have you used for old-time radio?

What I'm most interested in are anthology shows like Lux Radio Theater and Screen Guild Theater.

Thanks!
I use TuneIn, which is a built-in skill.

Go to TuneIn and search. They're both there, but unfortunately, you have to request a specific episode. Not very conducive to easy listening.

What I do is search for an aggregator like 20th Century Radio and Relic Radio, a few of my favs. They play an assortment of episodes from all genres (drama, comedy, sci-fi, etc) from various shows like the ones you want. You'll need to see their schedule to see what'll be playing and when.

Some of the anthology series (CBS Radio Mystery Theater) are available from TuneIn as stand-alones, as opposed to being part of a mix from an aggregator.
