In 1942, a remarkable radio drama earned the prestigious Peabody Award by daring to treat its audience with intelligence. Created by writer Sandra Michael, Against the Storm was born from a rare moment of creative freedom—given the green light by Procter & Gamble's William Ramsey on the very day Great Britain declared war on Germany. Deeply moved as a pacifist and staunch anti-Nazi, Michael infused the series with a moral complexity uncommon to daytime serials. Her goal was simple: to write "as if housewives were intelligent," breaking away from the formulaic melodramas that dominated the airwaves. This collection presents 18 rare original episodes from the acclaimed 1940-41 run, totaling over four hours of vintage broadcasting.
