Jars Club - Old Time Radio (OTR)

By Dick McMeekin, WKTZ

If you're an old retiree who enjoyed listening to radio shows such as Jack Benny, Mysterious Traveler, Inner Sanctum, Nick Carter, Phillip Marlowe, et al, when you were a kid or listening to radio shows that were broadcast by AFRS\AFRTS while you were overseas, you can still listen to the shows via the many web sites that stream Old Time Radio (OTR) shows. Following are a few of the sites that stream OTR shows each day. (During this holiday season, many of the sites are currently streaming special nostalgic holiday radio shows.)
