Sears Radio Theater

The Ham That Cried Wolf

English · Radio

Sears Radio Theater is a dramatic anthology series, with each broadcast presenting a self-contained story. Its episodes range across genres, including mystery, suspense, adventure, and drama, offering listeners a new setting and cast of characters from one installment to the next.

The program uses the possibilities of radio storytelling: dialogue, narration, music, and sound effects build scenes and convey action without a visual track. This episode is titled “The Ham That Cried Wolf,” a title that suggests a story shaped around deception or alarm, while leaving the unfolding events to the drama itself.

The result is an inviting choice for listeners who enjoy classic radio plays and the variety of an anthology format. Each story can be heard on its own, with performance and sound carrying the listener through its world.
