Old radio show recommendations?

Post by MelodyByrne »

I'm looking for some old radio shows to listen to while I'm getting things done in the house. Only problem is there's SO many and I have no idea where to start.

Does anyone have any particular favorites?

The one radio show I've listened to and enjoyed is The Magnificent Montague.

Have to agree with two of arctictom's: The Shadow and The Lone Ranger. Used to have cassettes of those old shows. Lots of fun to listen.

Boston Blackie can be OK. Dragnet is entertaining - tales of the Texas Rangers is great

I'd have to go with Jack Benny.
