I had 20 of these shows and couldn't find anymore. Today I was poking around the Internet and found a set of 39 of them. Very Happy

I uploaded them to the members directory today.

This is a favorite of mine. If anyone knows where to get more of these, please let me know.

Thanks,

This is one of the titles I've seen but never listened to before but I'll definitely give it a shot. I've had a pretty good streak trying out new series lately...hopefully this will continue it!

I've heard a couple of these and they were quaint even in 1948. It's sort of like Archie Andrews meets the Hardy Boys.

I really like Archie Andrews and the Hardy Boys, so I will probably enjoy it very much Exclamation

I have downloaded them. Now, I will get started listening. Parp / fart

Thanks, Brad.

Yeah, got to admit I read all the Archie comics when I was in school. Never missed an issue.

The ones I remember fondly were the reprints of the DC superhero and science-fiction titles. You can read about that here:

Just started to listen to the Frank Merrywell adventures. They are starting to grow on me. Will listen to them all now.

Brad you are right. I think it is the simple times that makes it appealing.

I think what makes the OTR programs in general so much fun is that they are very much like the old Storyteller that our ancestors used to listen to on cold winter nights. Way back when there were no mass printed books or people who could read them and so for entertainment they had the Storyteller recount tales of all sorts and OTR does much the same thing.

A few years ago, I was living in an old house, probably built in the 1920s or earlier. The living room was very small and there wasn't a really good place to put the TV, except in front of the (non-working) fireplace. One day, while I was watching TV, it suddenly dawned on me that the fireplace was the perfect spot for the TV, because watching the tube had replaced telling stories around the fire. In our modern culture, we sit mesmerized in front of the screen, much as our ancestors gazed into the flames as they entertained each other with stories and songs.

A good point Human and of course the Radio forms a perfect bridge between them because before people sat in front of the tv mesmerized by the stories it can bring to us and after the time of the storyteller next to the fireplace (and before that the open hearth) people would gather round their radio's to learn what was going to happen next to (insert character or show). We are very much creatures of habit and so though some details change the actions themselves remain the same.
