Norman Corwin and Radio
The Golden Years
Norman Corwin is regarded as the most acclaimed creative artist of radio’s Golden Age (mid 1930s to late 1940s). Corwin worked as a producer for CBS at a time when radio was the centerpiece of American family life. His programs brought high moments to the medium during a period when exceptional creativity and world crisis shaped its character and conviction. From Corwin's remarkable work during WWII to his defense of freedom of speech during the McCarthy era, Bannerman’s book is more than biography: it is also social history—the story of network radio, its great achievements and ultimate decline.
