This page has the infamous recording of 'War of the Worlds' that caused panic across America in the 30s.
There are also a selection of 19th and early 20th Century stories such as The 39 Steps, Dracula, and Around the World in 30 Days.
A seven part version of Les Miserables written produced and directed by Orson Welles is also available on this page.

"The[Mercury Theatre on the Air] show first broadcast on CBS and CBC in July 1938. It ran without a sponsor until December of that year, when it was picked up by Campbell’s Soup and renamed The Campbell Playhouse. All of the surviving Mercury Theatre shows are available from this page in RealAudio format (some are also in MP3 format). There are several Campbell Playhouse episodes available here as well, in both RealAudio and MP3 formats"
