Bing Crosby - Peggy Lee and Fred Allen Black Museum - Khaki Handkerchief Bold Venture - Tappard of Pizzaro Cavalcade of America - Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell Command Performance - Tallulah Bankhead Dr. Kildare - Angela and Steven Kester Harry Lime - Blue Caribou Jimmy Durante - Lucille Ball Lights Out - Oxychloride X Lux Theatre - It Happened One Night Mercury Theater - Our Town Our Miss Brooks - Weekend at Crystal Lake A selection of fourteen old-time radio files, run through an audio editor to remove background noise, pull up volume where needed, and bring the voices of past stars back down to earth, victims of inept compression.

Four comedies (Bold Venture's dry humor included) / variety shows. A couple of detective shows. Two sci-fi, one biography, a classic play, and a classic movie, so something for everyone. I would have put in a western, but so many of those files are in relatively good shape due to the enduring popularity of the genre. Orson Welles fans…
