I've now generated a new, curated, still-growing collection of Old Time Radio where you're basically guaranteed to find full or near-full runs of hundreds of radio shows throughout The Golden Age. The Old Time Radio Showcase.https://archive.org/details/theoldtimeradio

I didn't do any gathering, digitizing, or classifying of any of these - the hero deep-divers of radio history did, and they're credited inside the items. I just wanted to make sure we had a way to let someone enjoy the full bounty with little problems, and give everyone a great night's sleep drifting off to these wonders, as I always do.

@textfiles I've been enjoying the Archive's collection of BBC radio dramas lately. This looks like a great next step.

@textfiles w o w … If each series had an RSS feed so I could use my favorite podcast player… this archive would probably take over hundred of hours of my listening! :)

@textfiles I had a large set of Reel To Reel tapes I went through, with music from Tin Pan Alley, Wartime Ditties, and more. I saved a little of it..

@textfiles Oh my god for blind radio show fans this is simply incredible. Thanks so so much! Is there a complete Sherlock Holmes floating around out there by any chance?

@annalemma Oh goodness… if you’re also into classic radio programs, we’ll never lack for conversation. 😅Most recently I’ve been plowing through episodes of Inner Sanctum on Spotify.https://open.spotify.com/show/5JhNZvt1f25WEMpCNUvCWv

So, I expect to have the basic 1.0 of this curated set done tonight. I have written a quick custom script to find the big compilations with a thumbnail.

@textfiles love it! I do love listening to one’s like Johnny Dollar as I go to bed at night. Something about those 15 minute episodes where I can fall asleep before the end of one

@textfiles They also have a good Jazz collection; mostly historic of course with a lot of other "samples". They are having copyright problems so some things are samples, and others have to be "checked-out"; for hours/days. And so on. Copyright laws are beyond reason these days. But the real oldies are there; I like Ella Fitzgerald but tastes vary (even for me river time).

@textfiles yes! So many of the TV shows that were a little before my time were radio shows even before that. This is all so wonderful

@textfiles You hero, you. I have tried to catch every episode of Johnny Dollar when WAMU out of Washington, D.C. runs its Big Broadcast Sunday nights. With your archive, I can now listen at my leisure and still get some sleep Sundays. Thank you!
