The CBS Radio Workshop (Old Time Radio Variety)

Episode 93 — Classic Radio Rewind CBS Radio Workshop – “Brave New World” (Parts 1 & 2) Episode Description Step inside the WOTR Radio Network as Jarnathan Cross returns to host another immersive journey into the Golden Age of Radio. In this week’s installment of Classic Radio Rewind, we present a landmark two‑part production from the CBS Radio Workshop—its ambitious and unforgettable adaptation of Brave New World, narrated by Aldous Huxley himself. This celebrated dramatization brings Huxley’s dystopian vision to life: a future society engineered for stability, where people are manufactured rather than born, conditioned rather than raised, and encouraged to trade individuality for comfort. As we follow Bernard Marx and John the Savage, the story confronts the tension between human freedom and societal control—an idea as relevant today as it was in 1956. In this episode, you’ll hear: Part One — The World State, its engineered castes, and Bernard’s growing unease Part Two — John’s arrival in civilization and the clash between natural humanity and artificial happiness If you enjoy these restored broadcasts, be sure to like, follow, and subscribe so you never miss a moment of old‑time radio magic.Thanks for listening to Classic Radio Rewind!
