Yes. You can place you order on the website or You can all call me at: (416) 616-3788 (Adam)- What type of CDS do you use and why are your prices so low? CDs are prodisc unbranded with a thick matte finish (not the cheap thin tinfoil). I burn at 24x only and get about one bad disc on every 1000 burned. My cost on the media is $.21 each. This is way i only charge about $2.00 per disc when i sell them. The shows are public domain so there are no royalities involved. A lot of other places sell the exact same thing for $5.00 or more. I'm more in it for share the shows and hope that others enjoy them than i am to get rich. I just do this as a hobby.
- What is O.T.R. ?
OTR stands for Old Time Radio. This is what people used to listen to before T.V. was around.

- Do the shows have the original commercials?
I always skim through each new show as I collect them to ensure they sound fine, but haven't fully listened to my entire collection yet. I have a collection of over 10,000 hours worth of Old Time Radio shows and I've only just begun listening to them! When I find duplicates of shows, I compare each version and keep the one that sounds best or the one that includes the original commercials. My best guess is that about 90% of the shows in my collection contain the original commercials.
Some example of the great commercials you will find are:
soap operas: dove soap commercials oxidal soap commercials and a really swell steak knife offer
jack benny: a few Chevrolet commercials in some, a few JELLO commercials in others
shadow: blue coal commercials, "join the army" commercials
Johnny Dollar: Camel Cigarettes commercials
