CBS Radio Workshop
Pennsylvania Avenue
CBS Radio Workshop was an anthology program that brought original radio drama and adaptations to the air, using the possibilities of sound to tell stories across a wide range of subjects. Rather than following one continuing cast of characters, each presentation offered a new setting and dramatic situation.
The series drew on the full resources of radio performance: actors, dialogue, music, and carefully shaped sound effects. Its productions could move between literary adaptation, historical material, comedy, and contemporary themes, with each story built to work through listening rather than images.
That variety gives the program an exploratory feel. The performances and sound design invite close attention, while the anthology format makes each installment a self-contained encounter with a different kind of story. “Pennsylvania Avenue” is identified here as the episode title.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
