By far, it is X Minus One. I can't think of I have listened to any others honestly. I would gladly take suggestions of others to try out.

Twilight Zone is a good program as well as X Minus One and Dimension X . . .

I'm not exactly into the Sci Fi shows, but my husband does listen to X Minus one and I have grown to like it some. I have some Dimension X and have listened and somehow that seems to get more interesting. Maybe I am just growing into liking a brand new group of shows.

I listen in many different ways. I have a small mp3 cd player I take with me in the car and listen through the car speakers. I have an mp3 boombox in the kitchen that I listen with if I am cooking or doing dishes or sweeping. At work I take my small mp3 cd player and use a tiny radio transmitter to listen through the radio that is there. I listen at the computer sometimes, but sometimes the show is almost over and I haven't listened to any of it and don't know what happened. I guess all these posts keep my attention.

At night we have old time radio playing on our stereo. I doubt we have much of a clue what is playing, but we have done this for years. My husband tells people we listen to OTR while we sleep. People give us really strange looks sometimes.

When I started listening it was on a streaming Live365 show. Now I listen to ones I download through my iPod at work. I also have a set of detective cd's and a box set of tapes with various shows. I take those to work with me too.
Plus I got some CD's from OTRCAT before.

Hey, Brad, don't feel embarrassed -- most of us started off buying our OTR. I thought it was a great thing when I happened to discover that you could get old radio shows on MP3s.

I was following an ad for e-books on CD placed by spinsmart.com, and found they also sold radio MP3s. Up till then I had never played an MP3 in my life because I thought they only featured the latest modern music. How wrong can you be?

It wasn't until 2005 that I started to get some idea of just how many people were collecting Old Time Radio and how many of them were on the Internet.

A whole new world.....

I would certainly have to say "Dimension X" and "X Minus One". I believe these were the first two series I started with, on OTR.

Of the golden age shows, X-Minus One is it for sci-fi, but there have been some excellent contemporary shows as well, including Alien Worlds, which was produced in the late '70s, and Bradbury 13, which came out in 1984. And then there's my all-time favorite, The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy!

Countdown to Blastoff . . ..

X-Minus One!

"Time and time again" episode is a great one....

They're dated, which, for me, growing up at that time brings back neat memories.

Oh, and I listen to OTR through these here computer speakers....
Very Happy

X-Minus One and Dimension X are high on my list of favorites. I also like "Alien Worlds," which aired in 1978-79 and features some very thought-provoking stories and wonderful production values. At least one episode was written by J. Michael Strazinski (sp?), who later created "Babylon 5". I burned this series to CD and gave it to my 13-year-old nephew as a Christmas present. Hopefully, that will help hook him on OTR.

As far as my OTR listening habits go, I either stream episodes on the computer or download them to my MP3 player for offline listening, either through headphones or an old pair of computer speakers, in the car via a cassette adapter, or on my home stereo system via a patch cable.

X Minus One and Dimension X have always been my favorites.

Yeah....and I like the "...from the far horizons" opening, on Dimension X.

Theater Five also has some pretty good sci-fi episodes.
