 **[[http://www.otr.net/|Old Time Radio]]** - Surviving radio show recordings (169 series--over 12,000 individual shows) from the 1920's to the 1950's--all in mp3 format and downloadable (most of the time - the site seems to be a bit dodgey due to being a beta version). There's a few science fiction shows (//Dimension X//, //X minus One//, //Mysterious Traveler//, etc.) that became the basis for the //Twilight Zone// and //Outer Limits// and so forth, as well as numerous comedy and variety shows. There's even some old newscasts (including BBC's copies of Churchill speeches).
