What Podcasts and Genres Are Available on Relic Radio?

Relic Radio hosts eight podcasts covering old-time radio from the golden age of American broadcasting, spanning horror, science fiction, mystery, thriller, and drama. Each podcast is organized around a genre or a specific series, and episodes are updated daily. You can subscribe through your preferred podcast app, download episodes to your computer, or listen directly on the website.

The Eight Podcasts and What They Cover

Based on the site's current listings, the podcasts and their content areas include:

The site's welcome text states it features eight podcasts in total, and the categories visible in the listings confirm at least five distinct genre feeds. The remaining podcasts follow the same genre-based structure, grouping episodes by series and theme.

How Episodes Are Organized

Each episode page pairs a specific broadcast with its source series and, where available, an original air date. For example:

• Knock — Dimension X, episode 5, filed under Relic Radio Science Fiction
• Afraid To Live, Afraid To Die — CBS Radio Mystery Theater, originally broadcast April 23, 1975, filed under Strange Tales
• The Sleepwalker — Space Patrol, originally broadcast January 10, 1953, filed under Relic Radio Science Fiction
• The House Of Murder — The Hermit's Cave, filed under The Horror, with no air date available

Not every episode has a confirmed broadcast date. The site notes "no specific broadcast date" or "no air date available" for some entries, which is common with surviving old-time radio recordings.

Browsing and Searching by Genre or Tag

You can navigate the catalog in three ways:

1. By category — Each podcast feed corresponds to a genre (Horror, Science Fiction, Strange Tales, Case Closed!, Thrillers). Selecting a category shows all episodes filed under it.
2. By tag — Episodes carry tags for the originating series, such as dimension x, cbs radio mystery theater, weird circle, space patrol, hermits cave, adventures of philip marlowe, crime classics, screen guild theater, and crime does not pay. Tags let you pull together every episode from one series even if it appears across different genre feeds.
3. By search — A search box on the site lets you look up a series name, episode title, or keyword directly.

Listening and Subscribing

The site offers three ways to listen:

• Podcast app — Subscribe to any of the eight feeds through your usual podcast player.
• Download — Save episodes to your computer for offline playback.
• On-site — Play episodes directly in the browser.

A subscription page exists at relicradio.com/otr/subscribe/, and PayPal appears as a payment option. The site does not state whether subscribing to the podcasts themselves costs anything, so treat the podcast subscription and any paid support as separate questions until you check the subscribe page.

Choosing What to Start With

If you want a specific era or series, use the tag or search route — for instance, searching "Dimension X" or "CBS Radio Mystery Theater" surfaces every related episode. If you prefer to browse by mood, start with the genre feeds: The Horror and Strange Tales for suspense and the supernatural, Relic Radio Science Fiction for speculative stories, and Case Closed! or Relic Radio Thrillers for crime and suspense drama.
