As long as we're straying from comics-related (and nothing wrong with dong that), I'm gonna shill for another modern production from the team that bought us the Red Panda I mentioned in my first post: Black Jack Justice. It's a mix of hard-boiled and screwball comedy.
Another big OTR fan here. I pretty much fall to sleep with it every night -- either listening to Internet Archive's massive collection, or the OTRR Library website. There are other online collections out there, but those two are the biggest by far. There's also the CBS Radio Mystery Theater site, which, while not technically OTR itself (it aired from '74 to '82), it is a tremendous homage to many of the shows of yesteryear, particularly Inner Sanctum, Suspense, and Lights Out. I loved the CBS Mystery Theater as a kid, and still listen to it as well.
Also, my truck's XM radio stays tuned to channel 148 "Radio Classics" about 90% of the time.
Currently I've been plowing through "The Man called X", but I've listened to thousands of show episodes on Archive over the years, including the aforementioned Fantastic Four show, which is on the Internet Archive.
I can provide links if people want them... It's theater for the mind.
I've gone through nearly all of Suspense, Lights Out, Quite Please, Inner Sanctum, Escape, Philip Marlowe, and Pat Novak. What else is good in the crime/action/thriller genres?
Try "The Whistler", "Molle Mystery Theater", "The Weird Circle" "The Mysterious Traveler" and "The Sealed Book" for suspense/thriller.
For detective mystery/crime/action I highly recommend "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar", "Boston Blackie" and "Let George Do it".
All are available in the OTR section of archive.org, but each link should take you directly to its own player page.
