I like Sirius XM channel 148, Radio Classics when I'm on a drive that's long enough. Gunsmoke, The Six Shooter, Texas Rangers, Johnny Dollar, Suspense, X Minus 1, Our Miss Brooks plus a host of others. Can also be streamed with many subscriptions, if one has the data.

I used to listen to Mystery Theater read by E.G. Marshall when doing a lot of traveling back in the late 70's. The suspense kept me from falling asleep at the wheel!

As a young boy in the '40's, I would rush home from grade school and listen to Sky King, Lone Ranger, Sgt. Preston, Cisco Kid, and others on the radio. I couldn't wait until one offered a special 9ring for sale. I rushed to buy every one. Most were $0.25 or $0.50. I don't think I (my folks) ever payed a dollar for one. A few years later I enjoyed listening to Amos & Andy, Fibber McGee, & Molly, and 1-2 others. I never was a fan of the 3 Stooges or Abbott & Costello as I didn't think they were funny but just stupid. As for the Cisco Kid, I took my much younger sister to see him for a cowboy show in Peoria. After a long wait, he came galloping out of the gate to the arena and fell off his horse. Perhaps there was alcohol involved.

cbxjeff, by golly we listened to the same programs. Granny and Grandpa and i loved Amos & Andy the most i think. Great memories. Grandpa sat by pot bellied stove and chewed tobacco. Missed spittoon once in a while and hit side of stove.
Granny and I crowded around radio and taking in every word of Amos & Andy by light of kerosene lamp. No electric in the house and really out in the boonies. Radio was huge about 1.5 feet long and battery for it was a monster. Had a very long copper braided wire outside with a ceramic insulator on both ends about 50 feet long. That thing would pull in stations from hundreds of miles away especially with a fresh battery. I remember it pulled in country music from Wheeling, WVA , Ohio and farther down south to Central Virginia.
They also had one of those refrigerators with three kero burners underneath and big tank on top for anti-freeze. Life sure was simple then. Thanks for memories. ——————————Ray

At one time I was traveling in areas where you could not get a radio station- Ten Sleep Wyoming, Blanding Utah and the like. Our local library had old time radio shows on cassette. Yep, Fibber McGee and Molly, Lum and Abner's Jot-em-down store, some of the drama series. Our teenaged daughter got hooked on them.

I will check them out as a kid the car radio was it we did not have one in the house
but it would not have mattered to me a radio was all 100% old country music all my dad listed too he would say any thing else was a waste of good air time
but any way I look them up as I have listed to the old classic radio programs.
maybe even send off for my orphan Annie decoder ring 😁

Lum & Amber was still playing in the 1980s at a local radio station. Quite the series.

I'll again mention another modern radio program that I liked back in the 60's.
