    Splendid radio
    Relic Radio is top tier OTR and Welles was a master of radio drama. There are hours of fantastic shows here, my personal favorites are his Suspense episodes and the movie adaptations.

    Came for the Many Lives of Harry Lime...
    And stayed for the many Campbell's Playhouse productions and classic literature radio plays.

    ???
    Everybody else is giving these good reviews? Moby Dick is so scratchy it's unlistenable. Love Orson Wells. Very disapointed with this.
