Not every programme survives as a run. The Open Shelf gathers single surviving transfers and orphan episodes preserved in the Internet Archive's Old Time Radio collections — sustaining shows, audition records, local broadcasts and lone episodes of series otherwise lost. Each recording keeps the transfer name given by the collector who preserved it, and every item streams from the Internet Archive.
