Hello Everyone, Of course I love audio books but recently, I have found that I also enjoy listening to old time radio shows.
Now, one does not need a smartphone app in order to listen to old time radio episodes as many of these shows can be found at archive.org; however, for a modern playback experience, I love the following app for iOS which, by the way, is 100% VoiceOver compatible. I will paste in the description as written in the App Store followed by the link to the iOS version of the app: Enjoy, Mark OLD Time Radio Shows Step into the theater of the mind.
