For many reasons, from imperfect source recordings to careless mp3 encoding, the audio quality of classic era radio plays available on the internet varies considerably. Fortunately, different versions of an episode are likely to exist, so a decent listenable one can usually be found. |
Each OTRR collection contains the most complete and accurate version of the series with the best possible sound quality. |

What secret ingredient does audio theater possess that makes it so seductive...? The answer...lies not in a special ingredient, but in the lack of one. Audio is blind. Audio is the most intensely visual of media precisely because of its sightlessness. |
