If you like learning about telephone system, phone phreak Evan Doorbell has a very interesting series of podcasts about his time exploring the telephone system in the 1970's. The podcasts include his recordings from that time period.
It was neat to hear some of the old tones and recorded messages I grew up with, as well as ones that were well before my time:

- billwear 5y agoyeah, I love Evan's stuff, especially the recordings about George, the answering machine, and random answering machine outgoing messages from the 80's Atlanta area. fantastic!

- 8bitsrule 5y agoYeah! This stuff is a total gas. Here's this professional-broadcaster-quality voice, narrating a personal story about 50 year-old recordings of noises made by equipment that doesn't exist any more. (With threats by 'Ernestine') So: pure entertainment. After the series of many narrated tapes, there's another series of raw tapes (unnarrated ... test what you've learned).
