[Updated 6/26/20 to add 1 new episode] This upload contains 381 episodes of the Carlton Morse classic, One Man's Family, an old time radio show that ran from 1932-1959. One Man's Family was the longest-running uninterrupted drama in American radio history. It is unfortunate that only about 11% of the 3,256 episodes appear to have survived. Hopefully more episodes of this fantastic show will become available to add to this collection. The dates, episode numbers (book numbers and chapters in this case), and titles are believed to be correct based on available sources, but any corrections are welcome. Disclaimer: By uploading these files, I make no claim to ownership or copyright. These recordings have been acquired from publicly available sources on the Internet, and my goal has been to put together a collection of every available episode where possible. Digitised by the Old Time Radio Researchers and streamed from the Internet Archive item “one-mans-family-1959-04-01-b-134-c-03-big-news-for-pinky”; these recordings are in the public domain.
