    Love the site. Great banner. I agree with your preference for Gunsmoke, and Have Gun Will Travel. Thanks for all the episodes. There are some other good adult westerns such as Fort Laramie, Luke Slaughter of Tombstone and The Six Shooter. I wonder if you have heard them or are interested in finding some.

    hey there, I will be adding Fort Laramie and the Six shooter in the coming couple of days, just for you!!

    Thanks for this site, it’s great. I was wondering if you have and can post an episode of Suspense named “Breakthrough”? I heard a interesting show about two and a half years ago on a local radio program. I don’t remember the name, but the subject matter seems to go with that title. It is episode #908 dated 62-01-07. Thanks for everything.

    Dear OTR,
    I was listening to HGWT, Ep- Ella West wont down load nor will the Superman ep-97. There are ep missing if you go by the number on the mp3 52, 53, 54, 227, 259-268.

    I think your site is great and thank you for letting me listen to such wonderful shows.

    Hey thanks for your quick response, unfortunately that is not what I thought. Maybe you can help me. This was a program about a woman who had been going to a psychoanalyst office for some time and on this particular visit she comes to the realization that she had been coming to him for so long because he is the one that was dependent on her…that he had the problem, not her. At the end of the program, she is emotionally strong and mentally clear. She leaves the good doctor begging for her to stay and with a gun on his desk.
    This may have been and episode of Escape or possibly another drama series. From what I can remember, there are only the two of them in the show. Again, thanks for any help you can give.

    Impressive site, an obvious labor of love. You wouldn’t happen to have Campbell’s Playhouse would you?

    I’m quite impressed with the diversity and the quantity of OTR on this site. This truly is a treasure trove.

    Any chance we could see The Lone Ranger, The Saint, and The Green Hornet (my personal favorite) on here? I have a pretty decent GH collection, but I seem to always be running into the same episodes everywhere I go.

    Keep up the good work!

    Terrific site. Can’t beat old time radio. I had thought I saw some”Man called X’ on your site, but I guess I am mistaken. Very good program, that. Thanks for a real good service.

    This is an excellent website, thanks for putting such effort into it.

    Old time radio is truly some of the best.
