Norman Corwin
“Widely acclaimed as the greatest writer-director-producer of the Golden Age of Radio, Norman Corwin commanded a devoted following throughout his years at CBS. He perfected his own unique recipe for success: begin with the human mind and kneed gently; add a dash of poetry, wit and wonder; to this, add a cup of raw passion and stir vigorously; garnish with sound effects, and allow one half hour to marinate in a musical score. Finally, season liberally with intelligence and digest slowly.” –Excerpt from the Program Guide to Centennial, the 10-CD Norman Corwin box set released by Radio Spirits in 2010, the 100th anniversary of his birth.

THE CORWIN CYCLE aired between May and September of 1942. It was the first time a station devoted a series entirely to a revival of the works of a single radio writer. On view here are what have survived from a larger set.
