CBS Radio Workshop - Brave New World
Aldous Huxley
Read by Aldous Huxley
The CBS Radio Workshop was an experimental dramatic radio anthology series that aired on CBS from January 27, 1956, until September 22, 1957. Subtitled radio’s distinguished series to man’s imagination, it was a revival of the earlier Columbia Workshop, which was broadcast by CBS from 1936 to 1943. The series aimed to recapture audiences lost to television in the post-World War Two era.
The premiere broadcast featured a two-part adaptation of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, introduced and narrated by Huxley himself. The production was notable for its innovative sound effects, which required extensive effort to create. Music for the series was composed by notable figures such as Bernard Herrmann and Jerry Goldsmith, among others.

Reviews
World without God
Marcel F.
This story is insightful as it shows where our voyage into a religious 'neutral' that is 'godless' world brings us - a world without family and enslaved by pragmatism and base lust. the last talk, about the offense of God in men's perfect world, is very interesting. I recommend this show. And hope that Christ would come again before it is reality.
good for getting a rough idea of book

good for getting a rough idea of book but I don't feel it did justice to the book or author . it's a great effort and they did what the could but it's just time which constrained them here . thank you lebrivox and CBS studios for providing and facilitating this
