    Great selections
    This is very much a curated collection of episodes from a number of shows from the 1930s to the 1940s. Dakota does a great job of presenting known fact about each show and explaining why he sleeted the show for his podcast. Im in process of listening to each of the shows as he presented them.

    OTR
    OTR is my new evening TV. When I was a kid my mother would play cassette tapes of the Shadow, what she listened to when she was young…loved this entertainment ever since.

    Fun show
    Great shows to listen to instead of current news!
  • Reviewerperson1&1
    Good shows but too many commercials
    Far too many advertisements. Two sets of different commercials in addition to those at the beginning and end. Really takes away from what would be an otherwise great podcast.

    What a great podcast!
    I love these old time radio thriller/suspense stories. I can imagine there is a lot of hard work finding them and securing the rights to re-air them, so thank you for doing so!

    Radio Mystery Theater Paradise
    I just found this podcast. I used to listen to these back in the 1970s. Good to here Fred Gwynne’s (Herman Munster & more) voice again. He had a long and entertaining history in the radio, TV and film industry.

    I love radio plays but I can’t listen to this ignoramus host any longer.

    A Fun Podcast
    I’ve been listening to this podcast for a while. I enjoy “old time radio” shows. This guy gives a good mix of several, including the CBS theater. Dakota adds a cute little program called 5-minute Mysteries to some episodes. They are kind of silly but fun and entertaining in a “campy” sort of way.

    A Delight to Listen To and a Talented Host!
    Thank you, Dakoda, for all of your hard work and the excellent product that results! It’s always a pleasure to relax in the evening listening to the carefully curated programs!

    Transgender babble
    I agree with your take on transgenders and I will listen more and encourage others who agree to listen to your shows. The left wing sickness knows no boundaries
  • alfonso leonardo
    Awesome
    Great job cleaning up the audio and sharing classic stories. I run my own podcast, Ghosts In The Valley and I know the work involved to produce a quality podcast. Many great episodes to choose from.
  • Ragna Jock
    Not worth it
    Right wing babble about transgender nonsense was the last straw. Won't be listening again.
  • stormyweather714
    Love this show
    Please. The audio on the latest one is so brassy But thanks for what you do
  • SamanthaRae_of_light
    Truest Purpose and Intent
    The host is concise and informative about pertinent info regarding each episode, but not where your fast forwarding 10min before you get to the show. There aren’t 5 min worth of ads or self-promotion either, as I’ve seen with a lot of other, similar genre of podcasts. The content speaks for itself and it’s sooooooo refreshing to find someone who’s putting out great content for people to enjoy. The last bastion for a dying art form. Thank you for helping to keep it alive.

  • Rikg69
    Love the 5-minute mysteries
    Love the program. I especially enjoy the 5-minute mysteries at the end. I remember them when I was a youngster. My local radio station played them at 7:55am before I left for school.
  • BigHoss8124
    Lots of spooky fun!
    My favorite shows are Hermits Cave and Suspense. I’d love to hear more stories from the Hermit. A good variety of shows and as a guy who went to college for radio, I appreciate how they used all of these sounds and effects without computers! It’s my favorite non sports podcast. The episode I liked best was dance of the devil dolls. The House On Cypress canyon scared the heck out of me though!

    Great Podcast
    Dakoda is an entertaining host with interesting insights. The mixture and variety of episodes is top-notch. Highly recommend for any OTR fans, or anyone who enjoys mystery/suspense-type stories.
  • celticjennifer76
    Nice curated OTR
    So much great content. Not a fan of the Beach of Falesa episode. Uma’s voice is excruciating. However, that’s not the podcast hosts fault. He has so many other great episodes to choose from
  • OMMerk
    Disgusting commercials
    Don’t need to hear about condoms or penis issues Terrible commercials. Very inappropriate. This is anything but clean due to the commercials. Supposed to have been fixed but as of Jan 27 2022 there still are shows advertising condoms in a very disgusting way. Shame on you.
  • Bfreal
    Dakoda rocks
    Thanks for the great podcast. I love the mix of eras and different programs represented. Not too crazy about the Superman episodes, but everything else is so good, I especially love the oldest content, even when the audio quality is a little rough.

    I love killing

  • Fierydream
    Great Podcast!
    This podcast is fair better than some of the other old time classic ones. The talk is short and sweet and actually about the episodes and not just carrying on. The mystery’s are my favorite so when comedy’s are playing on the Radio Classics XM channel I immediately tune to this. Thanks for doing such a great job!
  • uuuuuuuuuuudu
    OTR is alive and well
    I like how you combine 2 parts of stories, such as Superman

    Superman radio program
    I just listened to the first Superman episode. I enjoyed it along with the additional commentary. I cannot wait to listen to the next Superman episode that will be posted on Saturday!
  • chameleoned
    Well curated selection
    Many old favorites here and quite a few that were new to me as well. The host adds a little bit extra about the actors or program when the info is out there. Well done easy listening.
  • sw1008
    Great variety
    Love the show, I work graveyards and love to hear the old timey programs while I commute. Love the old commercials for cigarettes and war bonds! Some of the recordings are hard to hear sometimes, but I know there’s only so much you can do sometimes. Please keep up the good work, really appreciate it!

    Political Ad Podcast
    Really man? You can do better than this...doesn’t matter how one-sided they are, but we want to hear suspenseful/mystery/horror...not what you’ve got going on right now.
  • Mildre's Marie
    Dang it
    If you like to be assaulted with one sided political ads multiple times per show and you fit the right party you might like this. I have to stop within a millisecond every time the “creepy uncle” type starts talking; making this not worth the trouble.
  • Suzyq195741215239
    Ugh
    Political ads. I’ll be back in December. Other than that, I like it.
  • Fallicaty
    Awesome
    I love this I can’t believe I found it
  • Farmer Trav
    Audio
    U should skip the ones with bad audio. Js
  • FrankTampa
    Great variety
    This podcast has a lot of different shows, you can’t beat the variety. The host does an awesome job. He was a little dry and had lots of dead air in the first season, but he followed it through and became better and better. It’s a great inspiration for finding something you like and sticking to it. I’m glad he did!

    Old time radio mysteries
    Episode 218 Car Ring has a glitch. Keeps repeating itself. Miss your commentary with background info; part of what made your mysteries fun Clearly a labor of love; it certainly can’t be for money. Thank you so much for all your effort in searching old archives for these forgotten gems and restoring them to listenable condition. I listen to one nearly every night.
  • ligeap
    Love these old shows
    I listen while I’m at work on the computer. They are an absolute pleasure.
  • BabySusieQ

    Thank you!
    Thank you so much for providing this mystery podcast. I clean houses for a living, and so enjoy listening while working. So nice to not be worried about inappropriate language or situations. Just good, fun entertainment!
  • MRG Podcast
    Love this podcast
    I have to say I listen to a lot of podcasts, but this one is my absolute favorite. I love the host, the great selection of stories and the details in the background. You got a permanent follower!
  • jellyfish08
    Great Job Dakota!!
    First let me start by saying I love listening to your podcast. The selection of stories is great and I love the details about the actors after listening to the story. As a person who love mysteries I was happy to find this podcast. I can tell you love what you do, keep it up!!
  • MysteriaNixes
    Good, But...
    I really enjoy the plays, but like many others say, I feel there is too much talking before and after. After I have just heard the play I don’t need it to told again as a summery. Yes I could skip those parts, but there are times I am doing other things while listening and can not skip past them to get to the next play on the list and then I find myself getting annoyed because there is too much talking from the host.
