The 931 episodes broadcast were all based on popular films with the biggest stars of Hollywood playing the parts and during its heyday the audience was estimated as high as forty million. The one-and-only Cecil B. DeMille was your host (1936-45) for a lavish production of what was to become a veritable film checklist of many of Hollywoods best films from the mid-30s right through the mid 50s. Every genre is included, from darkest noir crime dramas to historical epics to bubbly musicals and broad comedies. There are some titles that are less known today, and that makes them even more historical. The stars of the movie are usually in the productions, although sometimes contracts or schedules meant that another star took the part. In some another star would be featured in one of the major roles. The productions were live, with full orchestra, and many Hollywood legends were unused to performing in public without the benefit of retakes. Needless to say, the performances in every show are singular. The Lux Radio Theatre is a masterpiece in OTRs crown, and each show is a historical time capsule that takes us back to the glamour of the Golden Age of Hollywood.\";s:8:\"explicit\";s:2:\"no\";s:8:\"keywords\";s:42:\"lux radio theatre,OTR,old time radio,botar\";}s:4:\"link\";s:94:\"http://media.libsyn.com/media/botar/OTR_lux_radio_theatre__phantom_of_the_opera_09_13_1943.mp3\";s:4:\"guid\";s:94:\"http://media.libsyn.com/media/botar/OTR_lux_radio_theatre__phantom_of_the_opera_09_13_1943.mp3\";s:11:\"description\";s:104:\"A well-done musical version of the horror classic, stars Nelson Eddy, Susanna Foster and Basil Rathbone.\";s:7:\"pubdate\";s:32:\"Thu, 19 Jun 2008 09:00:00 -0700 \";s:8:\"category\";s:14:\"Old Time Radio\";s:7:\"summary\";s:104:\"A well-done musical version of the horror classic, stars Nelson Eddy, Susanna Foster and Basil Rathbone.\";}i:6;a:8:{s:5:\"title\";s:49:\"space patrol, treasure of planetoid 60 06/26/1953\";s:6:\"itunes\";a:5:{s:6:\"author\";s:12:\"www.botar.us\";s:8:\"subtitle\";s:28:\"original air date 06/26/1953\";s:7:\"summary\";s:236:\"Space Patrol ran from September 1950 to March 1955 on radio featuring the adventures of the steely jawed Commander Buzz Corry and his sidekick Cadet Happy as they combat various 30th century creatures across the Solar System and beyond.\";s:8:\"explicit\";s:2:\"no\";s:8:\"keywords\";s:37:\"space patrol,OTR,old time radio,botar\";}s:4:\"link\";s:93:\"http://media.libsyn.com/media/botar/OTR_space_patrol__treasure_of_planetoid_60_06_26_1953.mp3\";s:4:\"guid\";s:93:\"http://media.libsyn.com/media/botar/OTR_space_patrol__treasure_of_planetoid_60_06_26_1953.mp3\";s:11:\"description\";s:12:\"space patrol\";s:7:\"pubdate\";s:32:\"Wed, 11 Jun 2008 09:00:00 -0700 \";s:8:\"category\";s:14:\"Old Time Radio\";s:7:\"summary\";s:12:\"space patrol\";}i:7;a:8:{s:5:\"title\";s:59:\"fibber mcgee and molly, mcgees goto the carnival 04/22/1947\";s:6:\"itunes\";a:5:{s:6:\"author\";s:12:\"www.botar.us\";s:8:\"subtitle\";s:28:\"original air date 04/22/1947\";s:7:\"summary\";s:418:\" Fibber McGee and Molly was first broadcast in 1935 and ran in a variety of formats until the final broadcast in 1956.

The action took place on land as well aboard Slate\'s boat, The Bold Venture. Lauren Bacall was his ward Sailor Duval, a stubborn and flirtatious youngwoman whose late father had willed her to Slate for her protection. Together the duo found adventure, intrigue, mystery and romance in the sultry settings of tropical Havana and the mysterious islands of the Caribbean.\";s:8:\"explicit\";s:2:\"no\";s:8:\"keywords\";s:53:\"bold venture,humphrey bogart,OTR,old time radio,botar\";}s:4:\"link\";s:84:\"http://media.libsyn.com/media/botar/OTR_bold_venture__thugs_and_slugs_04_16_1951.mp3\";s:4:\"guid\";s:84:\"http://media.libsyn.com/media/botar/OTR_bold_venture__thugs_and_slugs_04_16_1951.mp3\";s:11:\"description\";s:12:\"bold venture\";s:7:\"pubdate\";s:32:\"Mon, 02 Jun 2008 09:00:00 -0700 \";s:8:\"category\";s:14:\"Old Time Radio\";s:7:\"summary\";s:12:\"bold venture\";}i:27;a:8:{s:5:\"title\";s:57:\"inner sanctum mysteries, eight steps to murder 06/04/1946\";s:6:\"itunes\";a:5:{s:6:\"author\";s:12:\"www.botar.us\";s:8:\"subtitle\";s:28:\"original air date 06/04/1946\";s:7:\"summary\";s:375:\"Inner Sanctum Mysteries 1941 - 1952 Taking its name from a popular series of mystery novels, Inner Sanctum Mysteries debuted over NBCs Blue Network in January 1941.

Virginia Gregg played the role of Miss Wong, Hey Boys girl friend, before the television series began featuring the character of Hey Girl. Unlike the small screen version, in this medium there was usually a tag scene back at the Carlton.

The 931 episodes broadcast were all based on popular films with the biggest stars of Hollywood playing the parts and during its heyday the audience was estimated as high as forty million. The one-and-only Cecil B. DeMille was your host (1936-45) for a lavish production of what was to become a veritable film checklist of many of Hollywoods best films from the mid-30s right through the mid 50s. Every genre is included, from darkest noir crime dramas to historical epics to bubbly musicals and broad comedies. There are some titles that are less known today, and that makes them even more historical. The stars of the movie are usually in the productions, although sometimes contracts or schedules meant that another star took the part. In some another star would be featured in one of the major roles. The productions were live, with full orchestra, and many Hollywood legends were unused to performing in public without the benefit of retakes. Needless to say, the performances in every show are singular. The Lux Radio Theatre is a masterpiece in OTRs crown, and each show is a historical time capsule that takes us back to the glamour of the Golden Age of Hollywood.\";s:8:\"explicit\";s:2:\"no\";s:8:\"keywords\";s:42:\"lux radio theatre,OTR,old time radio,botar\";}s:4:\"link\";s:99:\"http://media.libs
