Not text or references--the actual audio?

Or here (with a sample of the Alaska episode).

Old Time Radio is selling the series, $5 per audio disc (deep link), or you can get them as "high quality MP3s" on one CD (no mention of actual bitrate or encoding settings), for $2.10. There's also this FTP service, which charges $7 per gig of downloads.

Otherwise, you might want to ask this radio station where they got their copy (it's a 2008 playlist, including many radio dramas). Good luck, this sounds interesting!

Wow, it seems like there are a LOT of "OTR" sites shilling the same type of product, if it's not the same item.

You might try the Library of Congress. I found a script of a TV show from the 1950s my mother was on but going through their micro-fiche rolls.

It isn't free, but this website has episodes for 39 cents each...

$5.00/disk is the new "free".

I seem to have found a rather complete page about the program, which seems to have an episode available there.
