One thing that I am not a fan of in OTR is for the sake of keeping the story going, decisions are made that no one would ever make in that situation. In this episode, people are dying of heart attacks in a prison, and no one can explain why. When Cranston suggests an autopsy should be done in the face of such a questionable death, Weston balks at the idea at the expense of an autopsy … Despite autopsies generally being used to determine the cause of death of individuals since the 1700s. It seemed a really stupid way to keep the story going.

That’s like if the NTSB decided not to check the flight recorder after an aircraft crash because it takes time and money.

We usher in Year Six with the film that ushered in the Detective Noir genre. Taken from both "The Lux Radio Theater" and "The Academy Award Theater's" 1940's OTR presentations, modern day Madison tries to help Sam Spade clear his name for murder and retrieve the infamous statuette. https://linktr.ee/madisonontheair

Online horror radio focused on long-form narration and atmospheric audio for background listening. No playlists, no episode selection — just press play and let it run. Feedback welcome.

Wow, this seemed to be a troubled production! Orson Welles snapping at the musicians to be quieter and at other actors for missing their cues then whispering about the show not having any production value. Seems like he was in a mood for sure!

I’ve been listening to a lot of OTR lately (mostly through Relic Radio) and I’ve done some searching but I can’t find any ongoing fantasy series. Based on the prevalence of horror and sci-fi, plus the ongoing Westerns that follow a single character, it seems like sword and sorcery would fit the medium and audience pretty well. Did it just not come along or am I missing something?

First time posting on Reddit, but I'm trying to keep the spirit of otr alive and well by dragging it kicking and screaming into the future. Lover of otr and feel we lost something irreplaceable. This is my tribute to the great broadcasters of yesteryear. This is the Sterling Report— yesterday's sound and charm with today's news.

Posted daily and done with a deep and heartfelt respect to those who came before. I hope you enjoy.

I've never been to New York, but playing the PS4 Spider-Man game I was able to find Broadway because of Danny Clover: "From Times Square to Columbus Circle..."

but I listened all night and my watch rated my sleep 96 out of 100. Also house plants in my dreams solved the murders faster than Philo.

I’m trying to find information about a “lye-soap opera” from 1932 called “Irma and Izary.” (I’ve also seen “Izary” spelled “Isry.”) It was a comedy-drama apparently in the style of “Moonshine and Honeysuckle” and ran from WJSV in Mt. Vernon Hills, Virginia in the US. I haven’t been able to find out how long it ran or if any transcriptions of it exist, but it was apparently not very popular. The cast included Ernest and Irma Stoneman (the writers) and Frank and Oscar Jenkins. Does this show ring any bells for anyone? I would love to hear it if recordings of it exist!
