F.A.Q.

How many shows are there on OldTimeRadio?

There are currently over 30,000 shows available in the member's area and with more being added all the time it means you are unlikely to run out of things to listen to for a long long time.

Do I need any special software to play these MP3 files?

Most PCs and Macs come with software that will play MP3 files. Windows PC's, for example, usually come bundled with Windows Media Player, which should work fine. However, if you find that your system does not have compatible audio software then there is a wide selection of software MP3 players available for downloading.

Can members request a specific old time radio show or series?

You certainly can. Whether it is a specific show, a specific series or more of a certain genre just let us know and we'll do our best to oblige.

How often is OldTimeRadio updated?

OldTimeRadio is updated EVERY day of the year with new shows. So you can rest assured that this isn't one of those sites that is only updated infrequently. Not only do we add shows seven days a week, but we also add editorial, polls, and other goodies several times a week too. As you might have gathered, this is very much a labor of love. It is something we're both very passionate about.

What kind of radio shows are available on OldTimeRadio?

OldTimeRadio specializes in the genre usually known as old time radio. Another term for it would be The Golden Age of Radio. Most of the shows are from three decades; 1930's, 1940's and 1950's. This was a fabulous time in radio and shows from this era are as enjoyable today as they were when they were first broadcast. You'll find a very wide variety of shows available on OldTimeRadio: detective shows, thrillers, science fiction, comedy shows, musical and variety programs, and even quiz shows.
