Episode 432: The Long Name None Could Spell

On this episode of The Good Old Days of Radio Show, we are bringing you a powerful World War II–era broadcast from March 14, 1944: “The Long Name None Could Spell,” part of the Columbia Presents Corwin series. Written, directed, and produced by Norman Corwin, this dramatic program is a heartfelt tribute to Czechoslovakia after its betrayal and breakup following the 1938 Munich Agreement. Featuring narration by Martin Gabel and commentary from journalist William L. Shirer (who later wrote the famous book “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich”), the broadcast captures the intense emotion, patriotism, and moral conviction of wartime America.
