Riklaa,
Is this a place for Prairie Home Companion??
this is for Radio Drama post WWII when the US and Canada moved away from Radio. I have never listened to Prairie Home Companion but if you feel that it had a hand in keeping radio drama alive in the lean years of Radio from the 1950s to the recent past when audio drama has taken over and revived our interest in good listening and not just music, news and commercials then by all means post it here. ------------------------------ R
If you have never heard Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Companion, I sincerely beg you to check it out. The last of the Variety shows. Music, Comedy, Musical Comedy, Satire, Great Stories just to name a few of the aspects that make it great.
I have heard of it, just never listened to. Have at it if you want to post it here, I am open to anything. I just didn't want people putting web stuff or OTR here, this is for the stuff that came in the US and Canada between OTR and Web. ------------- R
We should add Midnight Mystery Players to the list, They broadcast over a low-power FM station in Washington State.
Their work is quite good - some original, some adaptations of OTR and some re-creations from existing scripts.
They do ask that we NOT re-post their work, but link to their site.

Do we have the same rule here about no commercial availability?
Radio Repertory Comapny offers most of their shows on CD, but they still broadcast on Sirius and XM radio.
Let me know.
