28. I am interested in re-creating some OTR drama. Where can I get scripts?

Check your local or national OTR clubs. Many have a "print
library" that includes scripts. You can also point your browser at
the University of Maryland's script page, at
www.lib.umd.edu/UMCP/LAB/scripts.html

One excellent source is the book. "One Hundred Non-Royalty
Radio Plays" compiled by William Kozlenko, Greenberg Publ of
NYC 1941. It's certainly out of print now, but many libraries
would have a copy. I bought mine at a used book store a few
years ago. The 100 radio plays in the book include adventure,
mystery, fantasy, comedy and historical. Most were originally
produced on educational stations in the 30s. Authors include
Saroyan, Julian, and Liss.

Larry Groebe, of the Generic Radio Workshop, has several pages
dedicated to on-line OTR scripts at http://www.genericradio.com

• prev: 26. I have lots of loose OTR cassettes filling my drawers. Is there a better way to store these things?
• Index
• next: 29. I can hear what sounds like another program playing in the background on many of my OTR tapes. Is this due to the tuning on the old radio or to the tape recorder that recorded the program?
