Descripción de The CBS Radio Workshop - Billion Dollar Failure (08-24-56)

The Billion Dollar Failure Of Figure Fallop (Aired August 24, 1956) Beginning with CBS' Columbia Workshop from 1936 to 1947, CBS set out to experiment with Radio--to push that invisible envelope of the speed of sound, the speed of light, and to capitalize on the human listeners' comparitively narrow band of audible sound. Not so much experiment in terms of hardware technology, as in Radio's earliest efforts in 'broad casting' radio transmissions, but in concept, engineering, scoring and production technique. The most well-known and widely acclaimed proponent of these techniques was Norman Corwin. Corwin was so critically and popularly successful in experimental broadcasts that CBS gave him virtual carte blanche to produce whatever projects he deemed of possible interest--at least until the HUAC years anyway. THIS EPISODE: August 24, 1956. CBS network. "The Billion Dollar Failure Of Figure Fallop". Sustaining. A very well-done tale about the day the devil hired a pollster to find out how many folks would be entrusted to his care in the next twenty years. Joseph Julian, Robert Dryden, Elaine Rost, Bob Hite (announcer). 29:30. Episode Notes From The Radio Gold Index.
