The Big Broadcast is a Sunday night tradition for families throughout the WAMU listening area. Each week, Big Broadcast host Ed Walker offers listeners priceless recordings of popular radio programs from the '30s, '40s and '50s. Priceless, especially, for a man whose first sentence as a child was, 'Turn the radio on.'

within feet of the river. Have been sitting here watching the border
patrol patrolling in their riverboats all night and all morning..."

Vision,

You probably know about it, but for those that don't, archive.org is an excellent site for downloads of almost any old time radio show that you can think of. These shows are free because they do not have copyright protection.

The site is here:

old time radio downloads

You can download individual episodes, or series packages. They download as mp3 files, so you can play them on any device that plays music files.

My favorite is Johnny Dollar, with Night Beat coming in a close second. I also enjoy Candy Matson, one of the few series with a female lead. Unfortunately, only a few episodes of that show were saved.
