 If you're a fan of 1930s radio dramas, then do I have a website for you! 
Founded by Orson Welles and John Houseman, the Mercury Theatre performed some of the most memorable live radio dramas ever produced. Back before the age of television, these broadcasts were the hits of the day and listened to by millions of people. Families planned the nightly meals around these shows and they have earned a place of honor in the history of radio broadcasting.
You can now download these broadcasts and listen to them in their entirety. Classics like Dracula, The Count of Monte Cristo, Treasure Island, A Tale of Two Cities, The Immortal Sherlock Holmes, the infamous "War of the Worlds and a number of others.
Provided mostly in the MP3 format, a few of them are in the Real Media format , the site requests that you help them save some bandwidth to their server by using the Bittorrent protocol to download the shows. I hope you honor their request.
Click here to visit the Mercury Theatre website.
Click here to download all of the available content via Bittorrent. (You'll need the Bittorrent client if you don't have it already.)
