When I was a kid there was a local radio station that would play all kinds of old radio programs. I fell asleep every night for years listening to them. They would play War of the Worlds on Halloween. I feel lucky to have stumbled on old radio as kid.
- mcbuilder 6y agoSame! WHO 1040 AM. This was my favorite followed by Dimension X, Suspense, and the Burns and Allen Show. They dramas and sci-fi were pretty intense listens as a kid.
- annoyingnoob 6y agoIt still amazes me that many of those shows were done live on the air, not prerecorded. Sounds effects and all.
- jejones3141 6y agoYup. I rather liked _Night Beat_ ("Copy boy!").
- cronix 6y agoI did the same in Portland in the mid 80s. X-1, The Shadow, The Hall of Fantasy, Jack Benny, Lone Ranger and Fibber McGey and Molly, the Whisperer and The Whistler were some I remember fondly. I think The Shadow, X-1 and The Whistler were my favs though. I actually have a ton saved that I use in Industrial music that I make :)
- annoyingnoob 6y agoI tell my kids their rooms are like Fibber McGey's closet and they just give me blank stares.
- lostcolony 6y agoI was introduced to them by audio tape by my parents. Lots of the comedies, but eventually some of the dramas. Less sci-fi, but Suspense was a delight in October.
- mintplant 6y agoLouisiana's WRBH - Reading Radio for the Blind and Print Handicapped [0] would air a block of old radio programs after midnight. As a kid I would try my best to stay awake late enough to listen them from my bed. [0] http://www.wrbh.org/ http://www.wrbh.org/
