Step back into the golden age of radio with American Portraits, a compelling series that brings history to life through dramatic biographical sketches. First aired on February 25, 1938, with a portrait of Walt Whitman, this collection of 8 recordings (totaling nearly 4 hours) examines the lives of famous figures by focusing on both minor and major events that shaped them. As the program's introduction suggests, “Perhaps it is with their action, that we can find inspiration to meet our own difficulties with wisdom.” This digital set offers collectors a warm, immersive journey into the past.
