Old Time Radio

[Kennywood]

Who else enjoys listening to old time radio shows? My favorites are:

• CBS Radio Mystery Theater
• Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar (with Bob Bailey)
• Gunsmoke
• Suspense
• Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

I love old time horror shows. I got into them back in 2005. Lights Out! Escape, CBS Mystery Theater, many more.

There's a Sci-Fi/Horror "Speculative Fiction" show from the 70's I love called Mindwebs.
And BBC Radio has still been doing shows since forever.

There was an old cop reality show like COPS called Nightwatch. Not sure how real it was, but some situations were nutty. It's interesting to listen to, hearing how differently people spoke back then.

Many old radio material is available for free on Youtube and Archive.org.

There was the Star Wars Radio Drama aired by NPR in the 80s and rebroadcast several times. It was done in the style of an older serial radio program or movie. They later did Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, although the latter is considerably shorter.
