Does anyone in the northeast or upper mid-west listen to the old radio shows broadcasted by Zoomer radio, CFZM, on 740AM at 10:00 PM Eastern? I've been listening for a number of years now and find the old radio shows to be entertaining.
Did any of you listen to any of the shows when you were growing up? I remember having a bowl of popcorn while listening to the Lone Ranger when I was very young.
I wish I could hear Chicken Man again.

Sirius plays them on a special station. Makes a nice change on a long drive.

Might sound corny but I used to listen Ranger Bill on the local christian radio station here.
Since I’ve backslidden in the last couple years, haven’t tuned into that station.

Just old enough to have memories of Lone Ranger, Inner Sanctum, and Fibber McGee and Molly. Even my kid thinks readings and radio let our imaginations paint better pictures than movies or TV.

I wish I could hear Chicken Man again. All the time on XM radio and on YouTube in the late evening. YouTube has a lot of old time radio for free.

I wish I could hear Chicken Man again. I listen on AM 740, also on WGN Chicago on Saturday night/early Sunday morning if I can't sleep. I'm "only" 52, but we had a local station that played old time radio every weeknight at 10 when I was a kid.

I listened to them.... back when they were new. No TV in our town until about 1956. Down on the farm, the radio was our entertainment.
Amos N Andy
Jack Benny
Lone Ranger
Cisco Kid
The Shadow
and so on.
Oh, and Gunsmoke. Many years later, found out that the voice of Matt Dillon came from a guy about as big around as he was high.
Be not weary in well doing.

I liked them when I was a kid, long ago and far away. Listened to them in Los Angeles at night but I do not find them on any of the radio stations here in S.W. Idaho For you geezers .... one of my favorite shows and themes. Let your imagination wander in the Great White North.

Lol...same here, but was sure disappointed when GS came out on TV in 1955. Jim Arness just didn't "sound" right to me like William Conrad did, but he sure looked more like I pictured Matt Dillon!

I love AM radio when I'm out at the cabin on hunting trips. It's so far from electrical interference (rare for my area) that I can really get way off stations. I listen to the old radio dramas whenever I find them. There's nothing else to do when it's 20 degrees outside and gets dark up the holler at 5:00. It made me realize why radio became such a huge thing in people's lives so fast in the 1920s. If you lived out in the county in those days, you wouldn't have a clue what was happening in the country or the world. When you closest neighbor was 3 or 4 miles away and 3 or 4 ridges over, you are isolated. Radio brought the world into their living rooms. People today don't have a clue what our grandparents went through. My Grandmother's life started with her riding in horse and buggies in the 1890s to seeing the Space Shuttle.

Used to listen on the radio, but now I just download from archive.org or use the LibriVox app. Have lots on CD in mp3, but the app makes it easier. You can also stream, but it requires a bit more hands-on. The web has made all this very easy, and there's no need to pay anymore (not that I ever did!).
Bob&Ray is my nighttime background noise, with Philip Marlowe (Gerald Mohr) in second place. Johnny Dollar IMO, is the best detective show, overall.

When I was 10 in 1961 there was Gunsmoke on the radio. When I was 40 in 1991, someone handed me some cassette tapes of old Bob and Ray radio shows. Those were funny. bob and ray on youtube dragnet
