Broadcast History: 27 January 1956 to 22 September 1957
The CBS Radio Workshop was one of American network radio's last attempts to hold onto, and perhaps recapture, some of the demographics they had lost to television in the post-World War Two era.
The premiere broadcast was a two-part adaptation of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, introduced and narrated by Huxley. It took a unique approach to sound effects, as described in a Time (February 6, 1956) review that week:
LR460717 - Weight In Gold
Wild Bill Hickok 530213 (130) The Phantom Rustlers
OMFxxxxxx - Book 077 Chapter 11 [000]
Gene Autry xx-xx-xx A Man Called Mother Miller
