Nostlagic web site/free Tue, 08/15/06 7:33 AM (permalink)
Just recently found this web site that may be of interest to some of our older? members. www.otr.net old time radio great selections no adverts no spam. I've been useing it for awhile with great success. It features Amos and Andy, Burns and Allen, The Shadow and old news and sport broadcasts. Its great to listen to the Boston Braves playing while reading the posts here. Sorry it dose have some advertising, the original advert that sponsored the show, great to here some of those old jingles. Anybody have any old time favorites? Please list them, love to here about them. Enjoy, Chow Jim

    The only radio show I remember was the soap opera "A Guiding Light". Whenever I visited my grandparents, right after the noon meal my Nana would sit right next to their big console radio and listen to the show, while she embroidered on a pillowcase. I had to sit in total silence until the last organ chord.

        The Shadow.

        Burn and Allen was hilarious.
        And "Sorry Wrong Number" was very scary.

        I know I'm too young for OTR, but my father used to get the programs sent to him in cassette tapes and we'd listen to them in the car on our road trips.
        I guess my parents found a good way to keep fours boys quiet on a long drive!

          I'm an otr addict. I'm way to young to have heard any of them on the radio in their original form but buy and download them like crazy. I burn my mamaw a bunch of cds every year. We get to spend time re-living part of her childhood through adulthood.
