OTR Upgrades - Dec. '23

More about it

An MPDMedia Anthology

Ten episodes from December 1953, the 17th of which is character actor Bill Pullman's 70th birthday. The variety of these old radio shows is appropriate, since Pullman is versatile enough to do broad comedy and film noir in movies. One of the greats, in such films as Ruthless People, Spaceballs, Singles, The Last Seduction, Malice, Dark Waters, Independence Day, Zero Effect, The Grudge, Liebestraum, Lost Highway, Sleepless in Seattle, Rick, Igby Goes Down, and While You Were Sleeping.

Check out this 1997 interview [at 32.07 point] with Pullman on Charlie Rose promoting "Lost Highway."

More Comedy

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.
