Writer, Director, Producer: during the Golden Age of Radio, no one was more respected and admired than Norman Corwin. His love of the language was matched by his intuitive understanding of the potential of radio, and gave scope to his glorious creativity.

Born in 1910, Corwin grew up in Boston and started life as a journalist. He broke into radio reading the news and producing poetry programs. Coming to New York in the 1930s, his innovative use of the airwaves on WQXR caught the ears of CBS executives, who hired him in 1938, along with Orson Welles and John Houseman, to bring quality drama to the network. His early programs immediately attracted national attention.

In 1941, CBS gave Corwin a half hour every week to do with as he liked, calling the program 26 By Corwin, and he was acclaimed for his astonishing success at this intense challenge, attracting the finest talents of the day. He tackled a similar assignment in 1944, this time called Columbia Presents Corwin.

Corwin also became "the go-to guy" (in the modern phrase) for special occasions. His deep love of America, American history, American ideals and principles had become famous in his CBS programs.

As the Second World War engulfed the planet, he was called upon to lead a celebration of the Bill of Rights in 1941, We Hold These Truths, which was the first program ever carried simultaneously by all four radio networks, and drew the largest audience in history ever to hear a dramatic presentation.

Profoundly dedicated to the fight against fascism, Corwin helped the war effort in many ways. He was asked to direct This Is War!, America’s first war-time radio series; he made a special effort to help Americans understand our allies by broadcasting from Britain; and wrote and directed many broadcasts about the war, the country, and the world. By 1945, he was simply the obvious choice to create the programs which would celebrate victory in World War II.

On A Note Of Triumph, Norman Corwin’s program broadcast the night Nazi Germany surrendered, is considered his masterpiece. It has been called the single greatest radio broadcast of the century.

Norman Corwin produced fewer programs after the war, and left radio in 1955. Aside from a few recreations of old programs, or very rare short productions on special occasions, he did not return to the medium until 1991, with a series of brilliant new programs for public radio.

Even though these classic programs were produced more than half a century ago, without modern stereo sound, they remain timelessly gripping, delightful and successful.


This is a reasonably complete list of Corwin’s work on network radio. Before joining CBS in 1938, he had worked in radio on WBZA, in Springfield, Mass., WLW, in Cincinnati, OH, and WQXR in New York City.

Titles of program series are given in all caps. Unless otherwise noted, all programs were written and directed by Norman Corwin, and Corwin’s voice did not appear on the air.

NORMAN CORWIN’S WORDS WITHOUT MUSIC

December 25—The Plot to Overthrow Christmas
Cast included Will Geer (later Grandfather Walton on TV) and House Jameson.
