Listen To and Download Old Time Radio Shows For Free. Old-Time Radio (OTR) and the Golden Age of Radio refer to a period of radio programming lasting from the proliferation of radio broadcasting in the early 1920s until television's replacement of radio as the dominant home entertainment medium in the late 1950s and early 1960s. During this period, when radio was dominant and the airwaves were filled with a variety of radio formats and genres, people regularly tuned in to their favorite radio programs. In fact, according to a 1947 C. E. Hooper survey, 82 out of 100 Americans were found to be radio listeners. The end of this period coincided with music radio becoming the dominant radio form and is often marked in the United States by the final CBS broadcasts of Suspense and Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar on September 30, 1962.

Alien Voices - The Lost World
.
Alien Voices - The Lost World: "
Arthur Conan Doyle's often over-looked adventure classic really shines in this live recording by Alien Voices. Its live in the sense that old radio shows would make a show and air it simultaneously; I wasn't able to tell until the end of the first act and Nimoy said act I is over. Anyhow, if you love Star Trek, Sherlock Holmes, or Dinosaurs, this one is for you.

Louis L'Amour - Monument Rock
.
Here is a dramatization of a short story by L'Amour from the podcast of nostalgic-radio.com. Just passing it along in case you miss it. Nostalgic-Radio has a lot of interesting content.
It had been many years since Lona Markham's father sent her from the rigors of ranch life to a convent school. Now she's returned to a wary, careworn man who hardly seems like the father she remembers. The ranch she's set to inherit someday is shadowed by brutish Frank Mailer, the man Lona's promised to marry--and haunted by the mysterious Black Rider, who watches the Blue Hill Ranch from a distance. Some say the Rider is a ghost, but all Lona knows is his presence makes both Poke Markham and Frank Mailer uneasy.
Then one day the enigmatic stranger reveals himself to Lona. Lance Kilkenny has ridden to this rugged country to repay an old debt to Lona's father. When he exposes a cold and daring scheme to cheat her of the Blue Hill Ranch, Lona Markham is plunged into terrible danger. But Kilkenny has a cool head and a fast gun hand.
