  • Also, you can go to and listen to mp3 samples of many of the shows they have on sale, including the Sherlock Holmes, Philip Marlowe, and that Hammer guy. I'm more into horror radio dramas myself, and I recently bought the famous Lights Out! program from these guys, $10 for 42+ hours of old time entertainment. Highly recommended, great to listen to at work. And if you type "HOLIDAY" into their coupon code from now until Dec. 31, you get 14% off. No, I'm not a shill, I just really dig this crap.

  • Woo! I love OTR! Thanks Nostril! Thanks TP! btw, I heard an unintentionally hilarious Christmas episode of Dragnet last week. The plastic baby jesus statue went missing from a church nativity scene in a poor neighborhood, so Friday and his partner (can't remember which) investigated. They weren't able to find the statue before the Christmas service, and went to deliver the bad news to the padre. But just then a little boy arrived dragging a red wagon. What's in the red wagon? The plastic baby jesus statue! Did he find it? No, he took it! Why did he take the baby jesus statue?! Because he had told baby jesus that he wanted a red wagon for Christmas. He prayed and prayed. And he told baby jesus that if he got a red wagon, baby jesus would get the first ride in it. It was like a beautiful punchline to a shaggy dog story. I laughed until I cried.
  • The links. They went away.
