Being an OTR fanatic for way too many years to remember @ at least 3-4+ hours a day! , I thought I heard it all… but to hear the interviews etc. are a great addition to just listening to the shows. I simply love the interviews – they’re great! Thank you for the insite and all the information behind the shows. I’m new to the site and learned about it from a friend who gave me a Nostalgia Digest. I’m hooked. I cannot thank you enough. Tim

This was my favorite radio program in the 1940’s, It used to scare me to death when I was a kid of 9 or 10 about 1940 and 1941.I can’t believe it’s been about 75 years! Listen you young kids, enjoy every minute of your life while you can because it goes by so swiftly! Have a good life!

This was also my favorite radio program of the 1940’s. The theme music I especially liked and I wish I knew the name of it! Remember the episodes of “Blood On The Cat”” amd “Stairway To The Sun”? They scared the P out of me! I remember the introduction of each program! ‘I love a mystery’, another Carlton e Morse Adventure Thriller! Can kids now have the same love of TV as we did with Old Radio? I don’t see how!
