Jem Ventures is owned and operated by Jim McGroarty and is based in the Metro Detroit, Michigan Area, specializing in Internet Retail.

Our current Internet endeavors include:

OTR Hobbyist.com is an online trading post offering the best of Old Time Radio Shows. We offer a new show each month for download. This website is offered as a not for profit site. I offer my collection of radio shows while charging only a modest charge to cover the cost of the website, and the making and shipping of the cds. Trading of shows is always welcomed and appreciated. I offer this hobby site to grow my collection and to share the pleasure of Old Time Radio to those who are new to it as a hobby or have a slow dial-up connection to the internet or just don't have all the time to download the shows. Since I use name brand cd-rs and an ink transfer labeling system, the cds are not cheap to make.

Our New Year Business Goals (2005)

Update the OTR hobbyist with many more episodes to existing show collections and adding many more show titles. I am also planning on expanding the DVD offerings first with large collections of a show put on DVD then I will add themed DVDs. This will save time for me and money for you the collector. Our retail stores are no longer. Great shoppingbuys is still online but orders are no longer being accepted. I will decide what to do with that web space later in the year.

News Update January 2005

Many shows have been added to our collection. I am currently going through many more collections I have eliminate duplicates and categorize. So there are many new and expanded collections with more coming. Certified collections will also be offered in the very near future. The may duplicate other collections but certified means they are best quality available and have been researched for correct date episode name etc. and no duplicates.
