Getting tired of listening to music at work and can't afford a book on tape every day. So I figured I'd start downloading some of the NPR Shows I missed. that got me hooked ended up downloading a bunch of the old time mystery horror and suspense radio programs.
Hopefully that will keep me busy for a while.
Any suggestions?

THe ones I've found are under "old time radio" don't know how much you've heard of them (some are even before your time) but they've hade some good stuff back then.
I have a collection of Edgar Allen Poe stories adapted for radio and they're some good stuff (Peter Lorre doing the Black cat and Vincent price doing the Pit and the pendulum stand out in my mind as well as some others who I don't know by name) Nothing beats the cigarette adds tho. To think there was a time i didn't know I had a "T" zone.
