I love old radio shows—especially those preserved by the OTRR group. They’ve spent years tracking down and archiving the highest-quality versions of classic broadcasts—many of which would otherwise be lost to time.
Love that they've left the old ads in too!
Lately, I can’t get enough of The Adventures of Philip Marlowe.
Van Heflin was okay on the short-lived 1947 NBC run, but Gerald Mohr, who took over in '48 for the CBS run, IS the voice of Philip Marlowe.

*Gerald Mohr's run starts at episode 6, "The Red Wind" in the playlist. I've included it here for your listening pleasure*
OTRR—Old Time Radio Researchers Group—does some of the most important preservation work out there. When better recordings surface, the archive gets updated. This is important work, worth supporting.
