CBS Radio Workshop
Portrait of London
CBS Radio Workshop was an anthology program that brought radio drama, literary adaptations, and other imaginative productions to the air. Rather than following a single continuing cast or storyline, each broadcast offered a distinct listening experience, with performers and settings suited to its subject.
The program made expressive use of radio’s tools: dialogue, narration, music, and sound effects could evoke places and ideas that listeners could not see. Its title, “Portrait of London,” suggests a program centered on the city, presented through the intimate, suggestive style of a radio portrait.
With its varied material and crafted sound, CBS Radio Workshop offered a thoughtful alternative to a conventional serial. This broadcast invites listeners to experience London through voices and atmosphere, as a place rendered for the imagination.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
