I have faint memories of hearing Gunsmoke on car radio on Sunday drives. Taking a drive on Sunday was a thing my Daddy forced us to do. Sometimes we went somewhere cool, like Gatlinburg. Most of the time, we seemed to wander aimlessly through the land.

I have no memory of hearing radio programs like Jack Benny or The Shadow in our home. We got television when I was five and I remember Howdy Doody, Pinky Lee and Winky Dink. And Romper Room, which even as a child, I thought was lame.

I got XM radio in order to listen to Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour. Turned out, I did not get to hear a lot of Bob, due to the times his show played. But, I discovered channel 82 that plays OTR shows24 hours. I often have it on.

Right now, I have found a website that has over 300 episodes of "Vic and Sade" which has, for a time, replaced "Johnny Dollar" as my favotite OTR show.

Here's an episode where the Gook family discuss civics. NB: Vic and Sade is unlike any OTR you have ever heard.
