If you are a lover of old-time radio and a fan of Orson Welles, you won't want to miss this treasure chest of legendary Orson Welles radio broadcasts! With his flair for the sensational and innovative, Welles captured audiences' attention with his 1930s CBS weekly drama series The Mercury Theatre on the Air, later renamed The Campbell Playhouse, which featured hour-long dramatizations of classic books. His 1938 production, The War of the Worlds (an H. G. Wells adaptation) was especially memorable, as were many other productions, each featuring talented voices and actors.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic collection, but poorly indexed.
    Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2015
    All of these episodes are available free, search for Campbell Playhouse. But I wanted something that would play on my Echo.

    The titling and naming for these episodes is nearly non-existent, but it does seem to be a complete collection. They don't appear in order. Like other old-time radio, these episodes have commercials, but Campbell's Soup commercials are much better than cigarette commercials in collections like Dragnet.

    Some of the actors that participated include Agnes Moorehead, Jane Wyatt, Katharine Hepburn, Burgess Meredith, Helen Hayes, Mary Astor, Laurence Olivier, Walter Huston, Lucille Ball, Jack Benny.

    Take a look at the Campbell Playhouse wikipedia page to see what you'll be getting.

    Highly recommended.
