There was a scholar in Ann Arbor who had posted ALL of the Mercury Theater programs at one point; I used it in order to source an excerpt of "Dracula" for a radio Halloween broadcast I did one year. I haven't seen it lately, so I guess someone must have gotten to her. But it was really a well done site, a model of redistributing OTR for scholarly purposes.
