> I'd like to thank list member, Michael G., who recommended two websites
that
> offer FREE old-time radio shows in mp3 format that you can download and
> listen to with your family. Develop listening skills, great vocabulary,
and
> get a glimpse of entertainment prior to the advent of television. The
> historical significance of some of these programs (many with controversial
> themes) can launch lots of discussion around the house. Of course, you'll
> also find pure entertainment in the form of dramatic interpretations of
some

> RadioLovers.com offers hundreds of vintage radio shows for you to listen
to
> online in mp3 format, all for free. Before the days of video games,
shopping
> malls, MTV, and the Internet, families used to sit in their living room
each

> Groucho Marx, The Avenger, Gunsmoke, Sherlock Homes and many others. When
TV

they

>
> The finest radio drama of the 1930s was The Mercury Theatre on the Air, a
> show featuring the acclaimed New York drama company founded by Orson
Welles
> and John Houseman. In its brief run, it featured an impressive array of
> talents, including Agnes Moorehead, Bernard Herrmann, and George
Coulouris.
> The show is famous for its notorious "War of the Worlds" broadcast, but
the
> other shows in the series are relatively unknown. This site has many of
the
> surviving shows, and will eventually have all of them.
>
> The show first broadcast on CBS and CBC in July 1938. It ran without a
> sponsor until December of that year, when it was picked up by Campbell's
> Soup and renamed "The Campbell Playhouse." All of the surviving Mercury
> Theatre shows are available from this page in RealAudio format (some are
> also in MP3 format). There are several Campbell Playhouse episodes
available
> here as well, in both RealAudio and MP3 formats. The rest are being added
> gradually.
>
>
> Note: If you would rather not install Real Player on your computer, you
can
> install Real Alternative, allowing you to play RealMedia files without
> having to install RealPlayer/RealOne Player. Visit
> http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm for the free
> download.
