‘NBC University Theatre’ initially started in Chicago using a remit to create adaptations of vintage novels, usually Anglo-American, to a radio target audience. Additionally, if listeners signed up they received college credit to a radio-assisted correspondence training course. A study guidebook, The Handbook of the World’s Great Novels, was designed for 25 cents. In its later years it also included short stories and takes on and continued to earn the distinguished Peabody award.Unlike many other radio displays University Theatre didn’t go after the glamourous stars because of its productions but instead relied on excellent distillations from the novels and high grade acting alongside high production values.However now its time to enjoy these timeless novels. Let’s begin.
