You Are There


(3 stars; 1 review)

You Are There is a groundbreaking radio series created by Goodman Ace for CBS Radio. It uniquely blended history with modern technology, transporting listeners back in time to report on significant events from the past. Each week, an entire network newsroom would figuratively embark on a time warp, bringing historical moments to life.

The series originally premiered on July 7, 1947, under the title CBS Is There, and it continued until March 19, 1950, when it was rebranded as You Are There. Notable reporters included John Charles Daly, Don Hollenbeck, and Richard C. Hottelet. A total of 90 episodes were broadcast, with 75 known to exist in recorded form.
