Old time radio info on the internet
I frequently look up actors/narrators on imdb to get more information about them. Is there a radio equivalent to imdb?

I haven't come across anything as all encompassing as IMDB for old time radio. There is a lot of information scattered over many websites though. I usually start at the Old Time Radio Program Logs by Frank Passage. It doesn't have every otr show there, but many that you'll recognize. There is always Wikipedia which I've found a little info at. There is one more that's escaping me right now. I'll post it when it hits me.

Found that one I was forgetting. It's called the RadioGoldIndex. Lots of information jammed in there. I need to remind myself to use this more!

Not really, in my opinion. The only site REMOTELY close is old-time.com's log page:
http://www.old-time.com/otrlogs2/index.html
If you take, for instance, the SUSPENSE log on the site, download it, and open it in, say, Preview (I'm a Mac user), you can search for names or episodes. Thats about as close as it gets (so far as I can see....)
Or, try this wikipedia page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:American_radio_actors
Hope this helps!
