One Man's Family - 381 episodes of Carlton E. Morse's epic family Old Time Radio drama


(5 stars; 8 reviews)

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, and titles are believed to be correct based on available sources, but any corrections are welcome.

We OTR enthusiasts owe a huge debt to those who have worked tirelessly to discover, acquire, and preserve these recordings. My goal is to ensure these excellent artistic expressions of our past are preserved for this and all future generations.


This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

Very sad...


(5 stars)

How much has changed in the USA, the right wing nutcases have destroyed family life with their hate mongering, these were simpler times...this is a sweet and inspiring set of episodes. I let my grandkids here a few and they are hooked on OTR now!

Very sad


(5 stars)

Our country sure has changed, the far left creepy drag queens, and people changing genders and pronouns. I like listening to stories about people who had morals. And loved our country. My.would be 100 year old dad loved this program, loved his traditional family and his country. Glad he’s not here to see the weirdos.

Great Old Time Radio Show!


(5 stars)

Thanks for sharing! Love the show. I knew a guy who played Pinky. Can't recall his name. He worked for the San Diego Zoo at the time. A public relations guy. Thanks also tor the photo of the cast and sound effects guy.
