Old Time Radio Dramas
Radio drama is a form of audio storytelling broadcast on radio. With no visual component, radio drama depends on dialogue, music and sound effects to help the listener imagine the story.
Radio drama achieved widespread popularity within a decade of its initial development in the 1920s. By the 1940s, it was a leading international popular entertainment. With the advent of television in the 1950s, however, radio drama lost some of its popularity, and in some countries, has never regained large audiences.
However, recordings of OTR (old-time radio) survive today in the audio archives of collectors and museums.
Listen to such favorites as Inner Sanctum, The Creaking Door, Lights Out, Quiet Please, and many more.

I’ve always wanted to try to rekindle one of these bad boys on my own, but I lack voice actors–only so many I can squawk out on my own, unfortunately.
Dabbled with a few set-ups through CeltX (the program has a Radio Show Script option) and started on a few.
My interest is piqued once again. May just have to dabble with the notion again, I would LOVE to see these come back in an audiobook collection or something.

Hi everyone,
My name is Freddy and I’ve wasted nearly a month of my life on this place
I found it after being recommended by a few friends who have been hanging out here for quite some time.
I am a writer, graphics artist, photographer and just about anything else that comes up around the office. Aside from the above interests i’m really into scifi as I know that is so much more out there to be discovered, and a feeling that the universe is just teaming with life.
Well, I hope that I get to know more people here, share some experience and start learning. Have a greay day!
