Does anyone else listen to audio dramas/old time radio shows

Next to being racist  they seem awfully similar to TV shows almost like they just decided to add a picture by the fifties

Edit: I can't read😂

But to be on topic, I did at one time....the first time I heard War of the Worlds, I was in highschool. The Internet as a form of mainstream media was in its infancy, so I don't know if there was a place that archived such things for our enjoyment, so I didn't look....but the librarian had some old radio dramas on cassette and she let me check them out.

I don't remember any of the names in particular but I do recall a few like the one with the detective trying to find the killer of a showgirl only to find out she faked her death to get away from a stalker or something 

There was one about jazz player with a gambling problem and I remember him drinking himself to death.  Oddly enough around this time I had also just watched Leaving Las Vegas and I was a beer monster back then so it kinda hit home but I can't recall many of the details....I'm rambling.

The point being, yeah I did but I haven't in years....kinda want to now.

Oh shit, wait...I just remembered GTA did some of these too in parody. I may link some because they are hilarious.
