The Smithsonian has compiled Poe stories as they were broadcast on radio shows - complete with spooky original music, credits, and commercials! While they vary in their adherence to the original stories (they've been adapted by scriptwriters to increase the amount of dialogue and cut out descriptive narration), they're generally good Poe fun. Worth a listen for Poe fans or old radio fans.
