I have been collecting OTR for about ten years now. I have hundreds of CD's full of the stuff. I love it. I often listen to it before I go to sleep. Love all the Orson Welles stuff, love CBSRMT, Green Hornet, Dragnet, there are far too many to list.

I would really like to get one of those CD players that looks like an old time radio. I just have not gotten around to it yet.

Great Thread.

Love the OTR stuff and it amazes me that there are many of us on this board that are into it.

I recently purchased a retro looking radio with an Auxiliary input for my MP3 player and I play stuff over it quite frequently. The look of it adds to the experience.

If anybody is interested in checking stuff out for free to see if you like it, iTunes has tons of OTR stuff that is easily searched and free to download. I've found the Batman episodes of the Superman Radio Broadcasts, Green Hornet, Flash Gordon, The Shadow and just about everything else I can think of to search for. There is enough stuff on iTunes to keep you busy for years.

I usually listen to Jack Benny

I still find him genuinely funny.

If you like train wrecks and old time radio, you might enjoy the work of Judson Fountain:
