Having read the original Foundation Trilogy twice, I can give a heartfelt stamp of approval to the BBC radio play of it, apparently it’s from 1977, I had assumed it was at least half a decade older than that. Hope you enjoy, I surely did.

Wasn’t War of the Worlds an extended radio drama?
War of the Worlds was originally a novel in 1898. A 1938 adaptation was made for radio as a single 60 minute episode of The Mercury Theater on the Air.
The radio episode was formatted as a series of increasingly frequent “news bulletins” that interrupted light jazz orchestra music. This caused some listeners to believe that New Jersey was actively being invaded by Martians.
That broadcast is on YouTube!
As others suggested, just go to Archive.org and search “OTR”.

If you are looking for super modern stuff look into BBC Radio 4 Extra.
