Old Time Radio Drama -- Sort of like very short audio books
The following is a USA Today article from a couple of years ago. For anyone interested in learning about Old Time Radio it's not a bad place to start.
The web’s best kept secret? Free classic radio dramas

quote:
If you’re looking to fill up your smartphone, tablet or laptop with great content, there’s a lot more than just music, videos, ebooks, and games. Without costing a dime, there are many tens of thousands of “old time radio” shows – from the golden age of radio – available for streaming or downloading.
You might be asking yourself “Why would a future-looking technology journalist want to fill up his phone with radio dramas popularized in the ‘40s and ‘50s?” Yes, I see the irony. But you’d be pleasantly surprised at how entertaining these are – and they’ve kept me sane while commuting in a car or resting my eyes on a plane. Or, in many instances, I'm playing a game on my phone or tablet while listening to these shows at the same time.
These bite-sized old-time radio (“OTR”) shows are typically 20- to 40-minutes in length. We’re not talking audiobooks here, which are typically narrated by one person, but rather, these are well-acted radio plays, often with music and sound effects. Because you're using your imagination to "see" the characters, environments and actions, these shows feel wonderfully intimate and personal.

I freaking love old radio shows. The Great Gildersleeve, Lux Radio Theater, The Phil Harris/Alice Faye show, Martin and Lewis, etc.
There are literally thousands and thousands of hours of programming out there. It's like stepping back in time. So glad to see that people are listening to these shows.
