CBS Radio Workshop: Volume 1
The Age of Classic Radio was a time of innovation and experimentation in radio drama. A direct descendant of The Columbia Workshop, The CBS Radio Workshop not only continued to push boundaries in terms of utilizing story, music, voice and more in exciting, modern ways, it broke new ground in radio drama. From having author Aldous Huxley narrate the adaptation of his ‘Brave New World’ for the show’s debut to ‘interviewing’ William Shakespeare to turning a stirring folk ballad into a mix of rhyme and performance by William Conrad in The Legend of Jimmy Blue Eyes, The CBS Radio Workshop set the standard for modern audio drama. Blending sound effects with story, music with voice, and quality with substance, CBS Radio Workshop, Volume 1 shows how boundless storytelling can be with audio drama.
