More about it

There is a reason why these radio shows are rare: all these episodes have been banned by the BBC! These are no longer broadcast.
The thought police now deem this type of satirical humour to be politically incorrect. They want to tell you what you're allowed to find funny! Big Brother is watching you!
So this is now the only place you'll find them (in decent quality).
Remember: these sketches are satire! This is light entertainment, not politics.

Listener discretion recommended. These are uncensored broadcasts which predate political correctness, and may be unsuitable for listeners of a nervous disposition.

Radio drama, old-time radio and historic broadcasts from the Internet Archive (its Old Time Radio collection with the Old Time Radio Researchers' sets, WWII Era Audio Recordings, the Pacifica Radio Archives, the Radio Haiti Archive, German radio plays and listeners' uploads), Wikimedia Commons (with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision's broadcasts) and the Library of Congress. Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
