My day has been made.

Submitter, I am having your love child. Well done. Thanks!

wow awesome. I used to listen to the Green Hornet a LOT. thanks.

Damn! No Chickenman?

He's everywhere! He's everywhere!

Will it have pictures?

I wish my grandmother had the internets because she'd get a kick out of hearing her shows again.

Shiat, now I have to buy a bigger hard drive.

eddyatworkGot a CD burner? Capture them for her. Total Recorder is wicked cheap and works like a charm.

Your grandmother would flip and you will be the genius.

Submitter here.. SpinStopper, I was at a radio conference in Dallas last Fall, and was thinking, "Man, this guy sounds like the guy who did Chickenman."

Lo & behold, it was indeed Dick Orkin. Pretty entertaining couple of days,

This is actually a very good historical record.

And the beginning of the Milton Berle show has a hilarious cigarette commercial.

/PHIIIIIIILIIIIIIIIIIIIP MOOOOOOOOOOOOORIIIIIIIIIIIIIS

Nice find vicejay

I heart vicejay!

*listening to Abbot and Costello*

Yay, GL!

Another similar site, shows are in .mp3:

/sorry for the cut & paste

Fibber McGee and Molly? Someone alert Andy Dick!

DOWN THEM ALL!!!

/thanks subby

They just announced Weird Al's parents are dead! :-(

Damn vicejay! You actually met Dick Orkin?!? That is so cool!

I was introduced to Chickenman in 1977. I was digging through some discarded promotional albums at the radio station where I was a DJ, and found an album of new and old tracks promoting the comeback of Chickenman. I, uh, borrowed it... and laughed my ass off. I love Chickenman ;)

I'm going on a trip next week and these are perfect when you can't get radio stations.
/won't buy radio
//Stern can suck it
///Bob Hope show rules!

That's really cool.

Hate to sound ungrateful and all, but WTF are they thinking, using Real instead of .mp3 ???

Thanks for the alt. link, ViceJay

Amos and Andy?

I wish there were categories. Anyone know which ones are good sci-fi or horror, or mystery?
Thanks!

Yeah.. At lunch on the 2nd day of the conference, he was in line behind me at lunch, & I got to talk to him for a few minutes. Simply amazing.

Here's his production company's website.. Don't think there's any Chicken Man audio there, but it does have audio
of a lot of the great radio spots they've done:

SIX HUNDRED episodes of the Jack Benny Show???

*faints*

http://www.reelradio.com/

Much more interesting.

Someone should point them to the DMCA thread a few links down.

Great site...Proving this amazing entertainment...the stipulation? They're in the most arcane POS format known to man.

Definately a kickass link (although I'm a little disappointed they didn't seem to have Well's 'War of the Worlds'), however real player makes even a tearduct-less creature cry.



/yes i have RMAlt

Oh noes!

real audio? yuk! good god make it die

DMCA attack in... 3... 2...

As far as the DMCA thing I believe the copyright on radio/TV shows is 25 years, unless congress extended it, so these should be in the public domain.

Do I sound like I'm on old-time radio?

Well done, submitter. Many thanks.

They actually have what appears to be a complete set of Hancock's Half Hour! Fantastic. I've only ever heard a few of them, but they're brilliantly funny.

Listen to the episode "The Rail Strike." It's charming and utterly perfect.

iczer Definately a kickass link (although I'm a little disappointed they didn't seem to have Well's 'War of the Worlds'),

Look under "Mercury Theater"

J. D.

How can you record all these old programs in Real Player?

Oh how I love Jack Benny. Oh and Bing! Thanks you so much submitter!!

This is so awesome. Wow, just, awesome. Greatest submitter of all time. You are god for a day.

I'm certainly glad to see massive amounts of Jack Benny (best comedian of all time IMHO).

I also recommend "It Pays to Be Ignorant", which the site has 17 episodes of. It's sort of a fake game show, and the humour stands up remarkably well today.

Great find submitter.

Needs CBS Radio Mystery Theater with E.G. Marshall.

As Vicejay said before, I've been listening to downloads from Radiolovers.com for ages. When I DJ'ed at a local AM station for a while I used these shows regularly when we had technical issues with the satellite or live feeds. I got hooked on the old time radio when I lived in SoCal and was able to tune into KNX 1070. Another of the very few things I miss now that I'm in NC, but you wouldn't like it here so don't bother coming out here...

Copyright X2, here is a general info site on copyright for radio, it appears this site is in the clear.

cut/paste if interested, too drunk to trust HTML

Oh boy - Christmas in August! Gildersleeve and X-1, ooh and Jack Benny and Suspense. I am so there.

Thank you submitter!

Caseyallaround: In addition to Heroic Poser's list check out X Minus One and Lights Out as well.

Who's on first

I don't know

THIRD BASE!!!
