this thread is extremely my poo poo.

The go-to I listen to is The Great Detectives of Old Time Radio - it's at over 3200 episodes.

There's also Down These Mean Streets

and all the shows, horror through sci-fi, at Relic Radio

Are you talking like they're podcasts where people are talking about stuff or actual "episodes" with scripts/story lines and whatnot?
If they're stories in a similar vein to the oldies, then yeah bring them on.

guessing they mean, among others:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolverine_(podcast)

I personally think that's more suited for the Serialized Fiction Podcast thread:

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3826110

seems like this is thread is more for stuff that was on the radio from the 1930s-1970s and is usually now consumed in podcast form

almost done listening to the complete runs of

Dimension X - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimension_X_(radio_program)

and

X Minus One - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Minus_One

from the 1950s and most of the stories fit into two buckets - 1. robots will replace us or 2. aliens will study or defeat us

Many of the X Minus One stories don't have much of a conclusion, as soon as the climax hits, they get in one clever quip and the episode ends.

also really interesting to hear PSAs about the polio vaccine that sound curiously similar to today's covid vaccine ads.

I am wrapping up dark fantasy, and each day doing one episode of:

suspense
lux radio theatre
cbs radio mystery theater
great detectives of old time radio

between these four there are about 8000 episodes

Holy gently caress, how long did that take you?

listening to 5 episodes a day takes about...60 minutes?

I listen on 2x with overcast's smart speed on, and I skip the preambles and old time ads.

at that rate it'll take...a little under 4.5 years to listen to the complete archives

Currently listening to Suspense, Ep43 "Sorry Wrong Number"

as radio plays go, "Sorry Wrong Number" is one of the most famous - I've heard at least 3 productions. haven't seen the movie yet.
