Episode #404: Norman Corwin: God and Uranium
from The Good Old Days of Radio Show · host John Tefteller
This is the final week in our mini-tribute to writer/director/producer Norman Corwin. Today we are bringing you a special broadcast, "God and Uranium," originally aired on August 19, 1945. This historical recording showcases the commemorative writings of Norman Corwin, presented by Orson Welles and Olivia de Havilland, reflecting on VE and VJ Days and the implications of the atomic bomb. The broadcast emphasizes the end of World War II, the sacrifices made, and the need for continued vigilance and effort to secure a lasting peace, contrasting the rapid declaration of war with the slower, more complex pursuit of peace.
