I thought I was on an island ...

... until I ran across this place. Turns out, I'm not alone after all.

 

'Course, listening to the Sirius/XM channel made me feel like I was a part of some community, even though I didn't know where it resided.

 

So, a question to y'all. Does the addiction for OTR ever wear off?

    I thought the same thing when I was young and used to listen to CBS Radio Mystery Theater on the radio.  I thought that that was the end of an era and I would miss all that was before.  Then I bought a few on 33 1/3 LP and thought there were so many it will cost a fortune if they are ever released.  Then I got a few cassettes and thought, I love this stuff, but they can never release that many cassettes and it still would cost a fortune.  Then came the cd and my views were the same.  Then out of the blue came internet and usenet and the path for the rest of my life was finally clear, OTR, OTR and more OTR.

      Lauren Bacall once said something to the effect that there is no such thing as an old movie; if you've never seen it, it's still as fresh as the day it was made. I think much the same can be said of OTR. At the end of the day its all about the originality of the script and the quality of the performance.

    I remember reading the book The Great Radio Heroes back in 1968 and thinking "What a shame I'll never get to actually hear any of these shows."    Hah!

    There is to much OTR content available for it to wear off.
