And if you missed that you should be able to order it from otrcat.com.

They carry hundreds of the Olde Tyme Radio shows for $5 per CD full.  Also 
have mp3's to sample.

Great stuff!

Original Dragnet series with Jack Webb

Orson Well's the Adventures of Harry Lime

Amos & Andy (Saphire to her good for nothing husband, "Why don't you go out 
and associate with a better class of people?" The Kingfish, "How kans I 
they's all workin'!")

The Aldridge Family ("Henry? Henry Aldridge! Coming mother.")

Mystery Theater

Abbott & Costello ("Who's on first?")

Edward R. Murrow reporting from London during the dark days of the Battle of 
Britain.

And much more.

The commercials alone are priceless. (Ladys bring your used bacon grease to 
your butcher.  He'll give you five cents a pound and you'll be helping the 
war effort by providing the grease for American tanks!")

week Jack's guest is Tallulah Bankhead. <bong> This is CBS Radio Network."
