I just wanted to share something that my FIL has really enjoyed since many of our LOs are from the same era. It’s a compilation of old radio shows and songs. He can’t see and we were looking for something besides books on tape and TV (which he can’t follow very well). We have the second volume, and sometimes he recognizes the names, like Bob Hope, and the shows, like the Lone Ranger. https://www.amazon.com/Golden-Age-Radio-Vol-1/dp/B00ERH1466/ref=sr_1_2?qid=1647712219&refinements=p_32%3AGolden+Age+of+Radio&s=music&sr=1-2

Thank you for the link May Flowers! My mom also enjoys listening to the old shows.
Many of these shows can be downloaded for free from places like the Internet Archive or these sites: https://www.oldtimeradiodownloads.com/ and https://www.oldradioworld.com/
SiriusXM also offers a channel streaming old-time radio shows.
