I've always had an interest in Old Time Radio (OTR), and since the advent of the internet I've been able to add a significant number of programs to my modest collection. There are presently over 60,000 MP3 format shows in my modest collection. While my preferences are for "pre-1970" shows in the Detective and suspense genre's, I also have and enjoy some of the newer stuff, so long as the language isn't full of "four letter words". These include The CBSRMT (CBS Radio Mystery Theater) from about '74-'82, along with quite a few of the BBC offerings. However, with much of the newer BBC stuff one needs to be rather selective if he/she doesn't want a lot of profanity or other objectionable program content (I'm of the Conservative, Right Wing Christian persuasion ;-) As the bandwidth required to post these programs and allow them to be downloaded far exceeds the bandwidth allowance of this website, I have opened a Multiply.com Blog page where I post many shows for downloading. There are presently more than 16,000 shows posted on that page. Unlike many OTR sites, I make NO money by selling OTR, everything is free and you may download as much as you wish from that site, though a (free) Multiply membership is required to download. Many of the shows that I up-load are of the rarer or harder to find variety as there are plenty of sites where the more common programs may be found. Here are some links where OTR may be freely downloaded. All links posted here offer free downloads, though some may also offer 'paid' subscriptions for either faster downloads or additional shows not offered free. There are quite a few links posted here, more than on my other web pages. That is because there isn't much use in duplicating what others have done better than I can do. Link to my "Multiply" site where I have over 16,000 individual Radio episodes available for "Public" download. To the 'Calfkiller' OTR site. A VERY nice OTR site with a lot of shows available for free download. Western - Old Time Radio Shows.
