Norman Corwin obituary: Radio’s ‘poet laureate’ dies at 101

Filed under: Old-Time Radio — Charlie Summers @ 11:59 pm

From the LA Times: Norman Corwin obituary: Radio’s ‘poet laureate’ dies at 101

From the article: “Norman Corwin, the legendary writer, director and producer of original radio plays for CBS during the golden age of radio in the 1930s and ’40s when he was revered as the ‘poet of the airwaves,’ has died. He was 101.”

I was fortunate enough to have met him, thanks to the Friends of Old-Time Radio Convention. Damn, I’m gonna miss this convention…
