CBS Radio Workshop
Carl Sandburg's 79th Birthday
CBS Radio Workshop was an experimental anthology series that used radio drama to explore a wide range of subjects, styles, and ideas. Rather than following a single cast or continuing storyline, each broadcast offered a self-contained program, bringing different voices and dramatic approaches to the air.
The series could move between literary adaptations, original drama, documentary-style presentations, and imaginative treatments of historical or cultural themes. Its productions made expressive use of narration, dialogue, music, and sound effects, inviting listeners to picture each scene as it unfolded. This broadcast marks Carl Sandburg's 79th birthday, placing the celebrated American poet and biographer at the center of its subject.
The result is a thoughtful, varied listening experience: part dramatic performance, part exploration of ideas, and always shaped by the possibilities of sound. CBS Radio Workshop is especially appealing to listeners who enjoy radio that treats the microphone as a creative instrument and gives each program room to find its own form.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
