        A personal love letter to Old-Time Radio—built for fun, preservation, and shared enjoyment

        Hudrick Graves, the Lightkeeper

        Meet the Lightkeeper

        The Lightkeeper is our friendly guide through the fog—curating gems, surfacing surprises, and jotting short notes in the Keeper’s Log while you listen. When you see “Lightkeeper’s Picks,” that’s a hand‑picked batch of episodes chosen for mood, performance, sound design, or historical interest.

        As the catalog grows, the Lightkeeper will add more context: quick trivia, cast highlights, and little breadcrumbs that make exploring even more fun.

        Why Old-Time Radio?

        I’ve always been fascinated by the power of sound to paint entire worlds. Long before streaming and screens, radio drama sparked imagination in living rooms everywhere—voices, music, and clever sound effects conjuring everything from cozy mysteries to cosmic adventures. That spirit still feels timeless.

        Lighthouse 13 is my personal pet project to make exploring those classics delightful. It’s a curated, modern listening experience wrapped around thousands of episodes—organized by genre, made easy to browse, and paired with lightweight tools that make discovery simple and fun.

        What This Is (and Isn’t)

        This site isn’t a business—just a hobby project made with a lot of care. I’m gradually improving the catalog, artwork, and playback experience. Some episodes may still be missing details or cover art, but the goal is steady progress and a great vibe.

        If you’re also a fan of classic radio, I hope this helps you find a new favorite episode—or rediscover one you haven’t heard in years.
