  • Great programming!

    I enjoy OTR so glad you offer all the genres. Host’s voice is soothing and non-obtrusive, and theme music is cool.

  • A little more supernatural and from the ‘40’s

    Although I generally am a fan of Relic Radio, I think the programming tends towards the esoteric, boring police weeklies.

Q: What do you think happened in that village?
