"This is the Mysterious Traveler, inviting you to join me in
another journey into the strange and the terrifying. I hope you
will enjoy the trip, that it will thrill you a little and chill
you a little. So settle back, get a good grip on your nerves, and
be comfortable. If you can." So begins each episode of the
Mysterious Traveler, the brainchild of writers, producers and directors
Robert Arthur and David Kogan. The character of the Mysterious Traveler,
who arrived and departed on a train, never appeared in the stories,
and existed only as narrator, introducing and concluding each show
that ran the gamut from horror and science fiction to conventional
crime. Beginning its nine-year run in 1943, the traveler’s train
last departed the station in 1953.
All of our Old Time Radio Programs are in MP3 format. You
can play them on your computer, you can transfer them to MP3
players (like the IPod), but, by and large, you cannot play
them on stereos, walkmen, or car radios.
The sound quality of Old Time Radio Programs can vary greatly.
Some episodes are excellent, others you have to turn up the
volume a little and ignore the static. All of the episodes can
be listened to and enjoyed. You can listen to our free samples
to get a feel for how the programs sound.
You can purchase these episodes on CD or you can
download them.

automatically open up and you can unzip the files. If your
computer doesn't have an unzip program, you can get one from

pretty good, easy to use, and free. (http://www.coffeecup.com/zip-wizard/)
