OTR Weekend, Vol. 5
More about it
A detective-centric collection ideal for investigative types of all sorts, particularly those relocating in California, where some of these shows are set. All files have had background noise removed and sound levels lowered to comfortability. As usual, there are 12 half-hour shows and two hour-long shows to allow for six shows per weekend night plus one full-hour show. I would suggest 1936's Lux Theater version of The Thin Man for Saturday night, NBC University Theater's Main Street for Sunday night. Mix and match the shorter shows to your liking.

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.
