CBS Radio Workshop

A Writer at Work

CBS Radio Workshop was an experimental anthology series that brought radio drama, documentary, and literary material together in a single program. Rather than following one continuing cast or storyline, each broadcast offered a distinct work, with the subject and style changing from episode to episode.

The series made room for adaptations, original plays, and explorations of ideas and creative life. Its title, “A Writer at Work,” points toward a program concerned with the process of writing, though the listening experience is shaped by the particular presentation: spoken performance, sound, and music can turn an abstract subject into an intimate radio encounter.

With its flexible format and willingness to move between dramatic storytelling and more reflective material, CBS Radio Workshop offers a varied, thoughtful kind of listening. This episode is suited to listeners curious about writers and the craft behind the words, presented through the expressive possibilities of radio.
