time radio that you can enjoy in the comfort of your own home!
"...
I just want to tell you how much your old time
radio programs mean to me. I've been a subscriber
now since you've been on. It is one of the nicest
things I have ever seen and we appreciate all of
your good efforts -very much. Thank
you."
James, Atlanta, Georgia
(25 seconds)
"...
when we listen to the radio, especially the old
radio shows, it forces the mind to form its own
images and for me this is great because TV no
longer offers anything important or entertaining
to me. I want to thank you very much and keep up
the good work"

Best
Bang for Your Entertainment Dollar
"I just
wanted to say how wonderful the website is that Joy and Ned have. When I found
it, I was just in heaven. My husband has been an old-time-radio buff for
many years, and I found RUSC -- and I said, “Oh, my gosh! This is perfect!”
You can download and you can burn CDs and listen to all the
old-time-radio shows you want for hardly any money each month. It is
possibly the best web site that I have ever found. Thank you so much,
Joy and Ned!" -- Dorothy, Tucson, Arizona
"I feel like a
kid in a candy store! At RUSC, I can download and listen to all
of the old-time-radio shows in RUSC's amazing online archives containing
thousands of shows. I don't have to waste my money buying
old-time-radio CDs. All the old-time-radio shows are made available free of
charge to members of
RUSC -- and membership costs
only a quarter a day! You won't find a better deal than this
if you tried!" -- Maria V., Los Angeles, California
"I’ve
been a member for more than two years.
One of the first things I do each morning is to go online to see what new
material has been added to the already wonderful library of available shows.
My entertainment dollar never before has brought me so much for so little.
Thank you Ned and Joy. -- Frank, Westchester, Pennsylvania
“R U Seated
Comfortably is the
biggest bargain in good entertainment on the entire web. Believe me,
I’ve looked.
Good family fare and
high quality recordings that
can be taken with you, which is wonderful. A database that includes
detectives, which my family just loves, especially Marlow. We were
really thrilled to hear Crippin done by Ned and Dave. Very, very good job." --
Karen, Latrobe, Pennsylvania
"If you
listen around to old radio shows on the air, they usually come with an ad. For
30 bucks a month you get 4 shows, or for $30.00 a month, you get two shows -- or
whatever -- and it’s really expensive. I think they’re gouging older people
because they don’t know about the RUSC service. I found RUSC maybe two
years ago. I'm paying only $7.50 a month and they allow you to
download as many as, if you have the time, 20 shows a day for that kind
of money. So it would be ridiculous to get them anyplace else." -- Doug,
Seattle, Washington
"I just discovered OTR last Christmas. I've been buying off e-Bay
and downloading from FTP sites and Napster. Before I got lots of heartbreaking
broken downloads, extremely slow downloads, and spent hours searching the web
for downloads. None of that here at RUSC!!! Fast downloads, everything I want is right
here, and I haven't had a broken download yet!! I'm disabled, which means I'm
long on time and short on cash. This web site is the best value I've run across
in ages. Thank you for all your hard work in making this site available to us OTR fans."

Great job. I recommend RUSC to all my friends and family. I made up a few cards
with the RUSC site address and keep them in my wallet for handing out at WalMart or wherever I might be and run across someone interested in old time
radio shows. You know, there's no telling how many lives have been enriched
because of your dedication to RUSC. GOD BLESS YOU!" -- Ben
"RUSC is far and away the best OTR site on the
Internet" -- JS
"I would consider it a major loss if you were not on the

year and a half and you do a great job. Keep up the good work"

Wonderful Nostalgic Experiences
"R U
Sitting Comfortably has actually been a Godsend for me. It’s just a
great opportunity to be able to
visit a time that for me was a kinder and gentler time. I especially
like the Life of Riley, the Great Gildersleeve, Miss Brooks,
all those types of sensible comedies. I also just absolutely love Alice Fay
and Jack Benny. I also do enjoy the dramas and the Sci-Fi, Lux Radio.
This just really has opened up and totally new hobby for me. I want to thank
you so much. Liz, Windham, Maine
"I’m a Ph.D. student
at Cornell. Um, I originally
got interested in old-time radio from my mom, who constantly told me about
rationing and the war and the stories that interested her from the radio
and one of her favorites was “The Shadow” and I got so isolated in the winters
here up in Ithaca that, and I didn’t have television, so I got on the web and I
started looking for “The Shadow” and I actually found you, or at least your web
site, and I have to say that I have not been so happy with a web site before.
This is fantastic. Every day there’s something new and
I make CDs for my mother and it just brings back memories for her.
She is now 65 and it’s just really great for me because
I get a sense of
Americana and
especially with the commercials that come on with a lot of these shows. I find
those to be absolutely wonderful and I just like the language, the optimism, the
strange essentializing of stereotypes, etc., that all these shows have. It sort
of shows
us where we’ve come from as a country and I really appreciate your
service." -- Amanada, Ithaca, New York
"I’m a 66-year-old man
and I found this site through a friend of mine who was following a link and I
just can’t tell you just how great this has been. I am listening to shows that
I never thought I would hear again. You have a wonderful selection of shows,
which, at a price of $7.50 a month, is unbelievable. It’s priceless. I sit by
the hour and I play cards and I listen to the different shows and
I have burned many of them and given some to my friends and I just want
to say this walk down memory lane has just been marvelous -- to listen to
shows I listened to as a kid, to be able to use my mind to visualize mysteries
and other shows that I have not heard for years. It’s just so much better
than television. I want to thank you. This is a gift from you to me
and to the world." -- Marshall, Carol Stream, Illinois
"I really
appreciate the service that RU Sitting Comfortably provides. I love
old time radio. I’ve loved old time radio since I was nine years old and was
first exposed to it when I lived with my parents in the South Pacific.
There they had no television, but Armed Forces Radio on Sunday nights would run
several hours worth of old time radio, including some new shows which Armed
Forces Radio themselves produced. And it is wonderful to have a chance to
listen to these old shows which are not, in many cases, available elsewhere.
And I enjoy
being able to download them, to listen to them as I drive, because I am
able to load
them onto CDs. And I also was thrilled that you took the risk to add
radio drama, which I thoroughly enjoy and hope that you do more of them.
Thank you." -- Larry, Cherry Hill, New Jersey
"Man, I can’t begin to
tell you what a wonderful service RUSC is. Ahhh... the old-time radio shows give me
a chance to
close my eyes and go back a few
years to when I really enjoyed listening to radio in front of a fireplace.
I really, really love it -- and
RUSC On-Demand is absolutely the best thing that's happened to me, my
office and my home. It’s on all the time!" -- Howard, Chicago, Illinois
"Your radio site is awesome. Thank you for a great escape back to some wonderful
memories" --
Johnny

Amazing
Selection of Shows
"Woweee!!! I felt like I struck a gold
mine when I found your website yesterday. I subscribed to RUSC and can
hardly pry myself away from your radio shows. I work on the computer out
of my home and I love to listen to these shows while I work. Thanks, Ned.
Again, I say: Woweee -- I love these!" -- Sue McConnell,
Oklahoma
"I just want to thank Ned and
Joy for such a fabulous web site. I just can’t tell you how great this web site
is for me. I’ve
become a collector of old time radio shows recently and the
variety on here is just unbelievable. For the price, you cannot beat
it.
Every day there’s new updates -‑ well, minus
one day a week. But those days I go and I grab some other stuff I don’t
have. There is just so much stuff on this site that I don’t think I’ll ever get
through it. I’ve been a member for about a year now and I plan on being a
lifetime member. -- Monique, Chicago, Illinois
"I started using R-U-S-C about
3 or 4 months ago because you don’t have to trade shows and there’s a lot of
hard-to-find shows. It was hard to find a lot of the shows,
especially when it came to I Love Adventure and I Love a Mystery
and many of the other Johnny Dollars. So I really appreciate the service
and it’s been a great asset to my radio-loving collection. -- Daniel, St.
Cloud, Minnesota
"I’m pleased with the R‑U‑S‑C site. This is my second year. Big fan of
old-time radio. I download and put them on MP3 disks for travel. I find
download speeds good. And I have written several emails to Ned and
received answers to every one of them. The
selection is outstanding and that brings me a lot of pleasures and
reminds me of my days when I was ten years old listening to the radio under the
covers at night. So thanks again, Ned. -- Bob, Steger, Illinois
"Your site is tremendous! Everything works smoothly and
the
selection of shows is the best I've seen. You are truly performing a great
service by making the "golden age of radio" available to enjoy all over
again" --
Dick
"I just joined and am very impressed with the variety and
number of radio shows. I am looking forward to many enjoyable hours of
listening pleasure. Thanks for all of your efforts. "

Listen
to Old-Time-Radio Shows Anytime
...and Any Place
"First of all, thanks a million for all the great programs. I
love old time radio and listening to the shows makes my daily commute much more
enjoyable than listening to the news!" -- Chas
"I
love your site. You have given me the ability to
turn my car into a time machine. It is like a 2-hour
commute. I don't know what I would do without you.
Thanks for being there". -- Bill, Hackettstown, New Jersey
"I just wanted to say how
much I like the R U You Sitting Comfortably web
site. As a graduate student, I don’t have as much time to
read fiction as I would like and being able to
download the wonderful radio stories allows me to enjoy
fiction while I am doing other things, and do the whole
multi-tasking thing. So, I think it’s
wonderful that you guys make these shows available. Thanks
a lot."
-- Kathy, Boulder, Colorado
"Just wanted
to let you know, Ned, this has been one of my great pleasures in life. I
download the shows onto regular CDs to play in the car and I even
bought a CD player that plays MP3s so I could use them out of my sailboat.
I
listen to them at my home office when I’m working a lot and I just
want you to know I appreciate the service. I like listening to the radio
programs. I don’t care how old they are. It’s just the fact they’re really
good --
good dramas and good detective stories and good comedians and I just
enjoy it. Thank you much." -- John, Grennan Hills, Illinois
"I just wanted to drop you a line to tell you that RUSC is a
Godsend for people like me and my wife who are tied to a computer all day. The
shows really help pass the time and not go COMPLETELY nuts!"
--
Andrew and
Jeanie
"My vacation chore this summer has been to paint the inside and
outside of my house. thanks to the many hours of RUSC shows I have taped,
the 'chore' has turned into a real pleasure as my wife and I listen, enjoy, and
slap paint. thanks for your works and efforts."
-- Ken
"I
listen to the shows in the morning on the bus coming to
work.
I listen on the bus going home from work and
probably without it there would probably be the most boring
ride I could imagine. I just want to thank you guys
for letting me have a chance to listen to so many great
shows." -- Morty, New York City
"I’ve
only been a member for a short time, but I’m really
enjoying it.
I used to buy CDs of old time radio from different
people, but this is so much better, a lot wider variety and
ease of access. I have very little technical
problems with it. I think the setup that you have works
really well. I use it for a number of things.
I download onto CDs and listen to it in the car,
especially on family trips and stuff. And I
also have a
pocket PC that I download shows onto it and then use it
with headphones for walking and riding a bicycle
on a trail that we have in our area. And in the
evening sometimes I listen to it while I play solitaire
or something on the computer. My whole family pretty much
enjoys it. My daughter listens to a lot of ‘em. My
personal favorites are Amos and Andy, and Dragnet.
So, I’d just like to say thank you and keep up the good
work." -- Robert, Williamsburg, Pennsylvania
"I’m a shut-in
because of some health problems, so you have become my only
real source of entertainment. We live in a very poor TV
reception area. I have some high voltage lines between
me and Mount Wilson. Consequently, TV reception sucks.
So,
I get up in the morning, come in, download some shows, put
them on the CD and then in the evening I go in and crash
with my Sony portable and my Old Time shows and relive
history. You guys are a Godsend." -- Ron,
Yorba Linda, California

Young
Adults, Teenagers -- Even Kids --
Love Old-Time Radio
"I’m in my late 20s. I’ve been listening to radio shows since I was a
teenager. My dad got me into it. I
stumbled upon RU Sitting Comfortably and I was just
amazed at the options of the many shows there. I was
wasting money on CDs and, you know,
some shows I really didn’t care about, buying a lot of stuff at
bookstores. And here for a pretty reasonable price I had tons and
tons and hundreds of radio shows at my access. I’m also a teacher and
I teach elementary kids and I’ve also taught middle school kids
and they really enjoy these radio shows. If you turn the
lights off and on for It’s Strange, Dr. Weird, and Suspense
-- they even like the comedy shows and we talk about some of the shows that kids
listened to back then. They find that very, very fascinating and they always
really did enjoy these shows. So, it’s not just for adults. Kids can
enjoy it as well. So, I highly recommend that you subscribe today."
-- Brian, Atlanta, Georgia
"The R U Sitting
Comfortably web site is probably one of the greatest collections of old time
radio available either on the web or in the retail market.
The
abundance
of shows,
the
variety
of shows, the
quality
of the shows and
organization
put into this web site and this service are
surpassed by none. Being a young person, I’m only 33 years old, I
obviously didn’t grow up in the time of the old time radio, but became hooked on
the CBS Radio Mystery re-broadcast in the late 70s and have always
enjoyed the different audio tapes in the library and to have these shows
available on the Internet is just remarkable and they have so many shows to
choose from and the
great information that’s included on this web site of the actors, the directors,
the broadcast dates and the synopsis of the episodes, you know, so many
of these are lost and they have this collection available is just unbelievably
great. So thank you Ned and thank you RUSC for this great opportunity to enjoy
these talents at work." -- Mike, Rosemount,
Minnesota
"I have been listening to R U Sitting
Comfortably for about almost 3 years now. It’s been an exciting thing for
me because I wasn’t born until 1955 and so I missed almost all of these radio
shows. I have learned so much and enjoyed them. What a variety you have. I
have shared them with children and they also have learned to love them."
-- Shawna, Heber City, Utah |

Superb
Sound Quality
"I consider myself fortunate in
being able to bring up your old-time radio shows on the computer. It
takes me back a long time ago when I was a
youngster when some of these shows were actually being broadcast over the radio ... I’m truly amazed at the
quality of sound that the different shows
have ... the voices are in totally
good shape. I’m glad to recommend this to
anybody who’s willing to listen." -- Bill, McMinnville, Oregon
"I really want to thank you for your reply. I have never had so
much fun with OTR. This is the most magnificent web site. Your taste in OTR is
impeccable and the sound quality is
superb. This has become a real hobby for me and you are a big part of it.
Again, maybe you are not told enough but there are many more like myself who
appreciate all your effort."
