I really enjoy these old radio shows, especially the one’s featuring Orson Welles!!
I had no idea what a dominate talent and celebrity Orson Welles was before television. I just remember seeing his as a guest on late night tv talk shows and wondering why he was famous.. Thanks Duane.
Thanks for a useful service with no ads but the originals. Won’t you make a note of having Campbell’s soup for dinner tomorrow?
