It was on the radio cannot even remember which channel and probably about 8 or nine years ago but it was a great wee play it will show up someday when I least expect it that is what usually happens

If I stumble across it or something a lot like it on my searches, I'll let you know. If you find it first, drop by the title, I'd love to hear it.

I heard one that am still searching for it was Prunella Scales I would love to know the title she is a woman who coughs I think through a concert recital that is recorded years later someone comes to find her to kill her as she is recorded on the record and is coughing and he hates that she ruined a wonderful concert any clues? That's "Music Lovers" written by Nick Warburton, one of the plays in the first series of "Fear on Four" on BBC Radio 4 in 1988. It'll still turn up on Radio 4 Extra occasionally and it'll be around online. Fear on Four was an anthology of creepy plays linked by a host character called The Man In Black. In the 1950s he was played by Valentine Dyall, in the 1980s he's Edward de Souza, these days he's Mark Gatiss...

2500+ series are available from archive.org archive.org/details/oldtimeradioThese are primarily the work of the Old Time Radio Researchers Group, who work to get the correct dates and names on these old recordings. Most of old time radio is officially in the public domain.

Does anyone know anything about a Green Lantern radio show, maybe from the 1940's? I don't know if it was ever a series, but in the 70s I ordered a couple of old time radio LPs out from a place that advertised in the back of a fanzine. I think I got one of a number with The Shadow that were offered, and one with Alan Scott as Green Lantern that might have been a one-off, I think it covered his origin and I'm pretty sure it had the line from the lantern, "Three times shall I flame green... etc".
I wouldn't think it could be that obscure but so far I haven't come up with any combination of search words to get anything out of Google except one short message board thread where there wasn't much info except for a couple of people who also thought a vintage GL radio show had existed and more who didn't seem to think so - and I guess also a link to a page at something called the aquamanshrine that seems to automatically forward to an ad page every time before I can read it, and Google's cached copy of that page does too.
I guess that link means "1967 Official Adventures of Aquaman The Flash & Green Lantern LP" so maybe the GL part is the same as what I heard of but I don't remember the cover I'm seeing for that and I can't remember anything yet about it having Flash or Aquaman, and I'd like to think I'd remember if it had. Could be wrong, I seem to remember it having the original GL on the front, but maybe I got a pirated version?
The things I think I'm most curious about are whether the GL play was originally part of a series of plays or just a one-off, and what its vintage really is. All this time I've been pretty convinced it was older than 1967.

All this time I've been pretty convinced it was older than 1967. I can confirm that "1967 Official Adventures of Aquaman The Flash & Green Lantern LP" is the story you're talking about. Hal Jordan is shown on the cover, but the actual audio is Alan Scott's origin tale. I found it archived on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TqhQ53Ty-gIt was Superman who had a radio show in the 40s. Batman and Robin appeared in that show a few times, and had a spinoff pilot serial/episode that didn't go to series. I looked but couldn't find any references to Green Lantern ever being featured there. Coincidentally, Kryptonite was created for that program, in a serial titled "The Green Death."

Thank you so much!! I still don't remember that cover but that must be it because I do remember some of the lines from The Flash now that I hear them again.
