   For those who might enjoy the radio shows from before television was popular, try this free service:

   I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane.

   Hey Chuck,
   I've been using them for a while.
   I love to listen to the radio dramas, especially the Sherlock Holmes when I'm cooking.
   I also like to bring my laptop into the kitchen and watch shows like The Adventures of Robin Hood, and Sherlock Holmes as well.

   It's good stuff, when men were men, and women were glad of it.

   chuck, thanks for those links.
   try another site: "times past"... several hundred old radio shows!
   you can also listen to old time radio shows live on-line at a canadian radio station chml, 900 AM, broadcasting from hamilton, ont. from 10 pm-2 am nightly they stream old time shows (lone ranger, sherlock, johnny dollar, hopalong cassidy, bob hope, fibber mcgee, and others).
   during maple leaf and tigercat seasons the programming doesn't begin 'til after the games (and post-game drivel) are over. sometimes the original commercials are embedded in the broadcasts and they too are fun to listen to...especially those for cigarettes..
   how times have changed!!!

    I didn't figure there were so many other OTR fans here.

    To add to Chuck & Jrtaster's links, here are some pretty good resources that I've used:

    OTR Plus is a great forum with lots of helpful members that'll post the rare shows you're seeking or point you to them if they know.

    OTR Plus

    Zoot Radio

    You have to join & be signed in to download from Zoot, there's a good selection and it was my primary source before I started using archive.org.
