That sounds fascinating. If I were interested in those shows, where would I start? Are there at least some that are easily listenable to on the open internet?

I listen to mp3 all the time. Back in the Napster days I collected a ton of music, but moreover I’m a fan of Old Time Radio from the 30s and 40s, so I accumulated around 10,000 of those shows. More than I’ll ever have time to listen to. Audiophiles may deride the quality level, but for my purposes it’s totally fine.

Check out the many OTR Gold podcasts that have the serialized shows as episodes.

Biggest free download site is probably www.oldradioworld.com
There’s also the Internet Archive - archive.org/details/oldtimeradio
