I LOVE old radio programs! I spent my senior year of high school at an international boarding school in (of all places) the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains in Utah. TV was virtually non-existent, and we had to be in our rooms by 8 on school nights anyway. by one of those weird accidents of atmospheric skip, I was able to receive a station out of Denver which broadcast the aforementioned Radio Mystery Theatre. as I recall it played from 9 until 10, so I could be in my bed with my light out (I think lights out was at 9:30) and as I was a notorious reader, and not music player, the dorm mother only checked for lights in my room. I could have the radio on very quietly by my head.
AFN, the Armed Forces Radio played many of the old programs occasionally. the second time I was in Germany there was a spoof that ran for about 2 years in the morning called; "The adventures of CHICKEN MAN!!!" which was pretty funny.
Prarie Home Companion was a standard when I was growing up. one of fondest memories is of doing sstuff in the garage with my dad listening to Garrison. I wish there were more radio programs
