Here's one of my favorites to get into the Halloween spirit: Nightfall: The Porch Light, a husband and wife wake up in their isolated home in the woods during a blizzard to find their porch light inexplicably turned on. It's not from the Golden Age (it was made in the '80s!) but nonetheless it's one of my favs and sure enough it's there in the section.

Used to listen to Tales of The Bizarre by Ray Bradbury while talking my walks a few years back, they're really cool and strange stories.

Awesome, I'll add that one! I've got Bradbury 13 on my backlist, a similar radio program. And of course there's The Bradbury Theater on TV (all on Peacock, many free on Tubi), some of them are really good.

I'm a regular listener of old time radio shows, used to listen to X-Minus One on a daily basis. I usually listen to The Late Late Horror Show on Youtube now, they do daily livestreams of various old time radio shows. Not just horror as the name might imply.

I LOVE OTR!!
Below I have listed some of my favorite shows
Jack Benny 1943-44 - Comedy I enjoy most of his stuff.
Screen Guild Theater (radio versions of movies/plays
Fibber McGee & Molly 1942 - (Just change the "42" in the url to "43" for 1943 shows, "44" for 1944 shows, etc) Sitcom. I love Fibber & Molly, usually.
Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar-- 5-part storylines Private detective/Insurance Investigator's Adventures. Very well done.
Lux Radio Theater -- like Screen Guild Theater, only hour-long shows instead of half-hour shows.
I love this variety show: Birds Eye Open House Stars Dinah Shore. Groucho Marx makes a lot of guest appearances over the course of the show.
The Shadow The Shadow Knows, okay?
Boston Blackie An ex-con turned detective.
Richard Diamond, Private Detective The singing detective, played by Dick Powell
The Bickersons, with Don Ameche & Frances Langford This show isn't for everyone, but is a sitcom about a man who "just wants to sleep" at night, and his wife who worries.
Six Shooter stars Jimmy Stewart in a Western Drama
Our Miss Brooks Stars Eve Arden as the English teacher at Madison High, Gale Gordon as Principle Conklin, and is very often hilarious. My mom often ends up in tears of laughter while listening to this.
John Dehner as Frontier Gentleman an English reporter in the Old West
And, semi-off-topic, I often listen to When Radio Was, a daily podcast of digitally remastered OTR shows--one long and one short--7 days a week. Your local radio station might air this show!

Perhaps you know the Internet Archive?
There's a section called Old Time Radio, which includes old Superman, Batman and Blue Beetle radio shows, many comedies of those days, and lots of other storytelling.
If you find something to recommend, lead the rest of us to it with a link or title.
