Any OTR Listeners?

I’m 43 but I’ve always preferred old radio shows over movies. My favorite is probably Johnny Dollar. I also enjoy Basil Rathbone’s Sherlock Holmes and the occasional Gunsmoke.

The Carlton Hobbs Norman Shelley Sherlock Holmes radio plays are good. Also like Dragnet, Marlowe, Sam spade, Gangbusters, FBI in Peace and War, Secrets of Scotland yard, the Shadow, the Whistler.

Primary favorites of the ones mentioned are Johnny Dollar (only Bob Bailey), Gunsmoke, Sam Spade (only Howard Duff) and Dragnet; but also Information Please, The Great Gildersleeve (only Hal Peary), Vic & Sade, all the adventure serials from Carlton Morse, and I’m sure I’m forgetting a bunch more.

I use a little app called simple radio and it has countless stations from across the globe. I was looking for radio theatre on Thursday night and ended up on some lame horror theatre channel.

Do you have any recommendations of stations I could look up?

I often listen to stuff on "BBC Sounds"; as well as broadcasting what's currently on the various BBC channels they have Radio 4 Extra which re-broadcasts classic comedy/plays/serials from 1940s onwards. Although it's essentially broadcast the BBC's digital channels it does allow you to go back through several weeks of programming.
