The CBS Radio Workshop was an “experimental dramatic radio anthology series” that aired between 1956 and 1957.

Huxley himself introduced and narrated the program, and now this classic radio drama has resurfaced online. Have a listen. The audio player below will play through the entire episode, which was divided into two episodes:

Wow this is incredible- thanks! I was introduced to Huxley’s work through my High School
teacher in a very rural town. It was
controversial for her to teach such works as A Brave New World but these are
very powerful and insightful works. Such
literature is very important to society along with books like 1984 and A
Clockwork Orange which are frequently banned.
