The CBS Radio Workshop, Vol. 2 Audiobook

Publisher Description

The CBS Radio Workshop aired from January 27, 1956, through September 22, 1957, and was a revival of the prestigious Columbia Workshop from the 1930s and 1940s. Creator William Froug launched the series with a powerhouse two-part adaptation of Brave New World and booked author Aldous Huxley to narrate his famous novel. Well never get a sponsor anyway, CBS vice president Howard Barnes explained to Time, so we might as well try anything. The CBS Workshop regularly featured the works of the worlds greatest writers, including Ray Bradbury, Archibald MacLeish, William Saroyan, Aldous Huxley, Lord Dunsany, and Ambrose Bierce. This collection contains sixteen dramas starring Alexander Scourby, William Conrad, Parley Baer, Mary Jane Croft, Stacy Harris, Alan Reed, Daws Butler, Virginia Gregg, Ben Wright, Howard McNear, Edgar Barrier, June Foray, Hans Conried, Joseph Kearns, and Jeanette Nolan. 5/4/56 – The Toledo War 6/1/56 – A Matter of Logic 6/15/56 – The Stronger 6/22/56 – Another Point of View, or Hamlet Revisited 7/6/56 – Portrait of Paris 7/20/56 – Portrait of London 8/3/56 – Subways Are for Sleeping 9/21/56 – The Oedipus Story 10/26/56 – When the Mountain Fell 11/2/56 – 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue 11/9/56 – Colloquy No. 4 – Joe Millers Joke Book 11/11/56 – Report on the Weans 11/18/56 – Sounds of a Nation 11/25/56 – The King of Cats 12/9/56 – I Was the Duke 12/16/56 – The Big Event Download and start listening now!
