CBS Radio Workshop
CBS Radio Workshop was the final incarnation of The
Columbia Workshop. The old show had been so successful
that CBS knew they were going to have pull out the heavy
artillery when it came to writing, music and sound
effects. The man behind the new revival was William
Froug who had grown up with the old show. Froug had a
great idea for the opening show, a 2 part adaptation of
Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. CBS got the rights to
the book and even got Huxley to narrate the show.
William Conrad (Matt Dillon of Gunsmoke) was hired as
the series announcer. Conrads powerful voice was perfect
for the show and its opening "This is the CBS Radio
Workshop...dedicated to man's imagination...the theater
of the mind." The last four words are a part of radio
history and still used today to describe the golden days
of Radio.
