CBS Radio Workshop

The Voice of New York

English

CBS Radio Workshop was an anthology program that brought dramatic stories and other imaginative material to radio. Each broadcast offered a self-contained listening experience, with the subject and setting changing from one installment to the next.

The series used radio drama’s expressive tools—performers’ voices, dialogue, music, and sound effects—to create scenes and atmosphere without relying on visuals. Its title reflects a program interested in exploring what the medium could do, from intimate character moments to broader portraits of people and places.

This installment is titled “The Voice of New York,” suggesting a focus on the city. The anthology format makes the program a good choice for listeners who enjoy varied dramatic storytelling and the distinctive textures of classic radio production.
