I’ve been an OTRcat.org shopper for years. Recently my father, who just turned 89 had been having some health issues. He was having anxiety attacks which were making his heart race. He would then take his pulse and see his heart rate was up that would make him more frightened causing his heart race even faster. After a particularly bad spell of this I took him to the emergency cardiac unit at a local hospital.

For hours he fretted about his heart rate while the doctors told him that he just needed to relax as they ran a series of tests on him. Of course, this took hours, during which he keep asking me what his heart rate was on the monitor. As I sat as his bed I realized I had my Ipod with me. I had just loaded a bunch of Great Gildersleeves. I said, do you want to hear an old radio show… and I put in the ear buds and started the shows. He laid back and began to relax… he was so quiet that I was worried for a moment until I heard him start to laugh. All the while his heart rate went down and down until it was normal.

A few hours and several shows later (he even wanted to take the shows into the lab when they were going to run tests on him) the sent him home with a full bill of health. On the car on the way home he said, “All I needed were these shows…” I left him with my Ipod and came back the next day with an mp3 player and all of my Gildersleeve and Fibber discs. Whenever he feels anxious he sits back and listens.

So grateful… thanks OTRcat!!

As a new customer, I absolutely agree with Mort from New York! I'm so grateful to have found this site. My order was filled accurately and promptly and the two extras were really nice; one of them quite unexpected! I have a large collection and will probably not be ordering frequently, but I know where to come when I do want something. Thanks again!

Being used to seeing a show on TV, I would have never guessed how great "seeing" a show in my mind could be. It's got me hooked!

Hi once again Jon......

To show how bad my addiction is..... You were kidding me about sitting out in the driveway to catch the last part of a show??

Well remember I told you of the radio my grandfather gave me when I was a wee lad (many, many Years ago) ? The first thing that I did to that radio was to disconnect the speaker and hook up a set of headphones so that I could listen to it in bed without my parents knowing since as a child I was supposed to be in bed and asleep rather early.

Jon ....old habits die hard my friend....I have a three disc cd player beside my bed. The player has a sleep timer on it and is set for at least an hours worth of play time and to add insult to injury it is connected to a pillow speaker so that my wife thinks that I am asleep but in truth I am revisiting my youth and am listening to the radio shows.

Me have an addiction ..... Naw........ or if it is then do not ever send me out for the cure.

Thanks again
