I am 71yrs of age ,, my older brother and I listened to these on an old radio our Grandma gave us .. We would turn the lights out and sit by the light of the oil stove in our frontroom . Mama would make us a large cup of hot cocoa with toast made from home made bread to dunk into it . Without a doubt , it was one of the highlights of my childhood . Thank You Sir !!

Listened 6/17/2023 while doing chores. I love these Old Time Radio shoes reminiscent of the Golden Age of Radio before Television in most homes. Good acting, simple sound effects, some actors voicing multiple characters. Great entertainment back then and today in 2023!

[@michaelramey1943]

I love these old radio shows, esp. Late at night when l can t sleep. They hearken back to a time before television when there was still something left to the imagination when the listener still had to visualize the characters and action. These programs are still relevant and timeless today as much as then. I love timeless things and people that stand out, apart from the masses. Keep em coming. They are awesome.

[@cathrynestone260]

I so agree! You can almost feel your brain expanding!

[@kevintipton9469]

Excellent review

[@funniebunnie4u]

I wish Chilly Sunshine was still here to see the community of love, that they left behind. ❣️💜❣️💜❣️. Alas, Chilly left us 5 years ago.... 💔💕

[@violetfemme411]

Another great story written by Ian Martin....love his stories and voice 😍

[@simonmcgrath4112]

I second that motion too!! I simply love these stories and being from England had never heard of them but thanks to you tube and to chilly sunshine for taking his time to upload them and also the info he adds to the uploads!! My favourite voice actor is Richard Dryden and Ralph Bell too.

[@cathrynestone260]

I hope this site would continue! These are quite wonderful for the brain!

Winter nights...the time for ghost stories and fantasy! Perhaps two radio play ghost stories I’ve produced AND a brand new mystery listed on my channel “Claude Chabot Presents” right here on YT AND a radio fantasy comedy, “A Trip to the Moon” starring Joyce Randolph of The Honeymooners, which features Larry Robinson, who, as a child actor, actually worked with Orson Welles. Here’s the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpbbY5-qrtCBiq8--Claud. If you don’t want to click the link just search “Claude Chabot presents” on KZbin.

Will do!

The only "simpler times" are the ones in our own minds.

@Michael Marek ; 40 years before this air date was the beginning of WWII.

[@beatlessteve1010]

@@inkyguy however those times were better in many ways...the only thing better or more advanced is technology' of today...now for some minorities life was worse then than today but for most white America it was a better time.

Binge listening during June 2020 pandemic. So much better than TV. So glad these are uploaded thank you

BlaqkDymond Inc, had it only been “the June 2020 Pandemic.” At this rate, at least in the U.S., it’s going to be _at least_ the “2020 Pandemic.”

When the imagination was required!! We are part of the story!!

[@TheKristi1966]

love these so much.. when i was growing up i would listen to these on my radio before i went to sleep

[@johnstone7009]

Me too 😉 I was so mesmerized by these old radio shows. I my love hearing these till the day I go to God's land.

[@smitty19612008]

As did I...and now in my later years I'm privileged enough to do it again...

[@inkyguy]

Kristi Connor, I would listen to these rather than going to sleep.

[@billsteinfeld559]

Me too! Listened to these every night, in fact CBSMR was interrupted the night John Lennon was shot. It was a moment that I'll never forget.

Mystery Theater was an event in our house. My siblings and I would sit on the floor around the radio hanging on to every word. Such an awesome memory for me

[@coleparker]

Great memory. If you get a chance, watch the old Woody Allen movie Radio Days.

[@kittybaby4288]

I was listening to another CHANNEL of these same old stories, but there were so many commercials I just deleted it . So THANK YOU FOR ALL THE hard wk of editing out those nasty things....💙😻

[@ChillySunshine]

Some people want all the commercials and news left in and some people want none.......Either way I hear about it.

[@inkyguy]

The commercials help root them in their original time.

[@coleparker]

@@ChillySunshine What is funny, is that I remember most of the commercials when they first came out. That is how old I am.

[@coleparker]

Great story! Funny thing, my TV crashed, and I have just refound these stories that I use to listen too. Might be hard to go back to mind numbing tv crap.

I love the fact that you have to is your imagination.

[@wmnoffaith1]

So true. There have been audiobooks I've listened to where I visualized every scene as if I were actually watching it as a movie. The funny thing is, when I actually saw the movie, I'd say to myself, I could've sworn this movie was different the last time I watched it. It took this happening several times before I realized that I hadn't actually EVER seen it, lol. I visualized it so clearly listening to it, that I remembered the scenery and characters as if I had actually watched it, instead of listening to it.

Gay means happy and carefree. Its current description is only slang and screwed up.

SPOILER ALERT!!! The ages don't make sense. The main guy is young, young enough to still be able to enlist a few years later. How is the old woman his mother? Assuming his dad didn't cheat with a 45 year old, the bio mom should be under 50.
