February 20, 2009 'On a Note of Triumph' : NPR Norman Corwin Image via Wikipedia Greatest Radio Show Ever As the end of World War II in Europe came in sight, Norman Corwin was asked to prepare a special broadcast, to be held ready for V-E Day. This is that broadcast. It is Corwin's masterpiece. Even after half a century, it is arguably the finest use of the radio medium ever achieved. "… a vast announcement, a terrific interrogatory, one of the all-time great American poems." – Poet Carl Sandburg NPR.org, May 26, 2005 · On May 8, 1945, 60 million Americans tuned in to hear On A Note of Triumph, Norman Corwin's radio masterpiece marking the end of World War II in Europe. Lauded by Carl Sandburg as "one of the all-time great American poems," it was the most listened-to radio drama in U.S. history. In the 1950’s I majored in Radio Tv and Film at the university of Miami [Fla] there were a lot of very talented folks in school with me, and one afternoon Dave Madden a classmate of mine who in later years was in the Partridge Family and Laugh In, listened to On A note Of Triumph-This was what radio used to be-it is important that if you study Communication Arts today you should listen to this-I follow Dave Winer on the internet and he seems to be a follower of all forms of media this is important to all of us-with the collapse of the Old Media we need a reference point- Norman Corwin celebrated his 97th birthday on May 3, 2007, and today lives in Los Angeles, keeping busy as always. He is still writing for radio, and is writer in residence at the Journalism School at USC. He writes articles for various publications, and is active in various organizations in and around the Los Angeles area. I really approve of this message-so did Lamont Cranston-The Shadow he Shadow is a collection of serialized dramas, originally on 1930s radio and then in a wide variety of media, that follow the exploits of fictional vigilante The Shadow.[2] One of the most famous pulp heroes of the 20th century, The Shadow has been featured in comic books, comic strips, television, video games, and at least seven motion pictures. The radio drama is well-remembered for those episodes voiced by Orson Welles. MarshalSandler.com is a playground of ideas, introductions, and synergies. Marshal exhibits a blogging style that is less about tamping out his thoughts and more about the juggling, rearranging, juxtaposing, and syndicating of the content of other people and companies - a communications cubism of sorts. There’s no room for crap, but there is plenty of room for friendly people with interesting ideas. Marshal’s day is the search for new technologies, new ideas, new relationships, and new things to curse happily about. So, participate. Cut bait. marshal.m1ATgmail.com 'On a Note of Triumph' : NPR.
