    Anyone else enjoy listening to Old Time radio shows? I found a lot of free shows that I download on my phone.

    Do you have a favorite show. Dragnet, Suspense and Johnny Dollar are on my current list.

    I have been listening to CarTalk for the past 10 years or so. Love that show. Up to last month my commute was about 1.2 hours each way so I had more time to listen to radio, now not as much.

    Sad that Tom just passed away. Anyone ever listen to Under the Hood?

    Tom's laughter was unique. Its like he would get stuck on laughter. I learned so much about cars from listening to the show, but it was their humor that keeps me coming back every Saturday.

    It plays on 106.5 on Saturday mornings. I actually like it better than Car Talk.

    The Haunting Hour was great. There is another one, a detective one, but I can't remember the name of it. That one was really good.

    Phillip Marlowe is a good detective show.

    There was a website that had a bunch of old time radio shows all available to be played that I was playing around on a while back. I listened to a few of the "horror" shows. Interesting stuff

    We've enjoyed listening to Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor.
