Audio Homeschool clearly explains the advantages of using Audio in a Homeschool Situation.
I divided these by subject and not age or grade. I think those who know me well realize, I am not a fan of the grade system anyway. I honestly believe that ALL it does is hinders the use of creativity to use tools as needed to help our children progress.
Take a College textbook say an Algebra book. What's the First problem on the page? Its single digit problems! My point... Move forward with the child don't linger on what they already have mastered and don't push on when your child is still struggling.
Just keep hitting refresh if some of these don't appear to open. The pages at Archive.org are often updated and are always popular so they sometimes get too much traffic and won't open correctly. The links are NOT broken just keep trying!
I have created a Lapbook for you to use with Radio shows you will find it here.
Science
Social Studies
Cavalcade of America 3 (all of these overlap content but each contains unique files)
Language Arts
Lux Theater 1 Keep tunneling and you will find almost 50 pages of Lux radio shows not all are linked to this page but most are. As Time goes on I will hunt down the other years and put the link here. What happens is different people upload them to archive.org and make their own "pages". Some of the Missing Lux files are on this page.
Academy Award Theater, has Phantom of the Opera, they had 10 seasons so I will keep looking for the links to the rest of them!
Matinee Theater has Rebecca, Jane Eyre and similar tales There are more here and I am sure with time I will find even more.

Wiki about Let's Pretend

Radio Lovers has hundreds of vintage radio shows for you to listen to online in mp3 format, all for free. Before the days of video games, shopping malls, MTV, and the Internet, families used to sit in their living room each night to listen to radio shows such as Superman, Groucho Marx, The Avenger, Gunsmoke, Sherlock Homes, and many others. When TV become popular in the 1950's, most of these shows went off the air, but they now live on at websites such as this one and on weekly nostalgia radio broadcasts worldwide.
