My Paramount DVD of the 1953 film of WOTW (Special collector's edition) has what appears to be the complete  1938 radio broadcast in correct pitch/speed and  excellent noise- free sound  as one of the special features of the DVD. Compared to other versions I've heard this restoration is near miraculous. However, the fast forward. pause and reverse functions would not operate while playing the show on my current vintage DVD player, a major inconvenience  easily solved with an external audio recorder.  I purchased the DVD in 2006 and do not know if the currently available DVDs still contain the show as a special feature.
