In case you haven't been following all the collections at archive.org, here's an article that showcases some amazing science fiction episodes from the early 1950's Dimension X radio show. Fifty half hour shows are available at the archive.org site which should be a good TV replacement for a week or two.

From the site:

Dimension X made its mark by adapting short stories by acknowledged masters of the craft: Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, and even a non-genre-bound literary mind like Kurt Vonnegut. All of these world-creators knew well the value of imagination, and radio, in its way, stood then and remains today the most evocative, imagination-driven medium of them all.

    I'd like to listen to these in my car (burnt to CD) - is there anyway to do this? I've looked at the HTML source, and ripping the mp3s direct doesn't seem trivial.

    There's a torrent at the bottom of the page, all the mp3 files in 1.28 GB. Health is 4 bars at the moment :)

    It's trivial to me, in that I've done it. Right-click on link for zip file, select "save link as...", poof.

    It's really quite a simple choice: Life, Death, or Los Angeles.
