Words at War
To All Hands
von
Words at War brings wartime writing to radio, adapting books, stories, and other works concerned with the experiences and stakes of World War II. The program presents literature as a way to encounter the conflict through the people caught up in it, rather than only through headlines and reports.
In this installment, titled “To All Hands,” the focus is on a dramatized presentation. The series’ radio format uses performers, dialogue, and sound to bring written material to life, giving listeners a direct, story-centered way into its subject.
The result is serious and purposeful listening, shaped by the urgency of wartime themes and the dramatic possibilities of radio. It offers a glimpse of how contemporary writing was adapted for audiences following the war from home.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
