Go here: http://www.otr.net/ You can get streaming old time radio of any venue you like. When my dad found it on the internet we would spend one night a week just listening to some of the shows.

It is.

Kinda funny to hear Morgan try to pull off being twenty something with that voice.

Yeah, Mr. Morgan doesn’t sound like a kid.

This Gunsmoke story is awfully sad.
