Columbia Workshop, Volume 2 - audiobook

An often-overlooked aspect of old time radio, overshadowed frequently by the stories told on the shows and the stars that performed them, was the fact that a crucial part of the medium was sound. Columbia Workshop not only paid attention to sound, but advanced how it was used on other programs then and now. Believing that 'production, not the play, was the thing', Irving Reis, the man behind the show, worked to make sure that Columbia Workshop was rich with music, sound, and innovative techniques setting it apart from other programs. Reis produced some cutting edge episodes. Multiple innovations in sound mark Columbia Workshop as a classic radio program, a true vehicle of experimentation that advanced the medium in multiple ways. Listen as history is literally made on Columbia Workshop, Volume 2.
