I’m not aware of online sources that list out public domain radio scripts. You might have to determine the copyright status on a script-by-script basis.
Any radio scripts published prior to 1923 will automatically be in the public domain. Radio scripts published between 1923 and 1977 without a copyright notice will also be in the public domain.
The link below provides other situations where the radio script will also be in the public domain.
