I know that we have a few fans here on Audio Dramas, primarily of the 
Doctor Who variety.  Anyone else enjoy listening to Old Time Radio dramas?
 
I have been listening to Gunsmoke, which at just shy of half an hour an 
episode is perfect for my commute.  Some of you may remember that I am an 
Old West fan and those these tales of the violent, untamed West are right 
up my alley.  Those of you who are familiar with the James Arness TV show 
probably know that Gunsmoke started on radio before moving to TV, and a lot 
of the early TV scripts were recycled radio scripts.  There is a great 
collection by the Old Time Radio Research group (OTRR) of them available on 
Archive.org for download.

I also enjoy the classic Dragnet.  This dates back to my youth watching 
Dragnet 1968 (and so forth) on Nick At Nite.  Much like Gunsmoke, Dragnet 
started on the radio before making the transition to television.  The OTRR 
has a collection of Dragnet as well on Archive.org.

Anyone else enjoy classic radio drama of years past?
