--------------------------------------------------

Presenting Old Time Radio's Greatest Shows podcast, three hours of the best radio shows ever broadcast!

On this week's edition (November 2014), I spotlight some of my favorite series. The set begins with one of my all-time favorite situation comedies, The Life of Riley, which puts Junior's entire football team in jeopardy because of... HOMEWORK? Then stay tuned for Alan Freed's Rock n' Roll Dance Party, a unique short-lived series from circa 1956 which features Rock'n'Roll artists performing some of their greatest hits. In our next hour, we venture into the Wild Wild West with a pair of classic Western Series premieres: James Stewart stars as "The Six Shooter", followed by the series premiere episode of the long-running "Gunsmoke". Finally, in our Feature Presentation hour, the Western theme concludes with James Stewart in Lux Radio Theatre's adaptation of his classic film, "Winchester '73". Enjoy! -J.G.O.

More Drama

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.
