OTR Weekend 3 - Mother's Day Special

More about it

14 episodes, several focusing on motherhood, including a fixed file of Lux Theater's I Remember Mama that removes much of the background noise and the sound reduced to normal speed so that the great Irene Dunne is once again recognizable. The rest of the files have basic background noise reduction and sound volume adjustments so they're not so ear-splitting.

There are two shows featuring Bob Hope, as well as Bogie and Bacall, Burns & Allen, Dinah Shore, Clark Gable, Rosalind Russell, Cary Grant, Zachary Scott, William Bendix, Betty Hutton, Bing Crosby, Natalie Masters, Dana Andrews, Herbert Marshall, and Helen Hayes as Unsinkable Molly Brown.

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.
