Orson Welles Radio Credits

Orson Welles radio credits
This is a comprehensive listing of the radio programs made by Orson Welles. Welles was often
uncredited for his work, particularly in the years 19341937, and he apparently kept no record of
his broadcasts.[1]:77
Radio is what I love most of all. The wonderful excitement of what could happen in
live radio, when everything that could go wrong did go wrong. I was making a couple
of thousand a week, scampering in ambulances from studio to studio, and committing Orson Welles, arms upraised,
much of what I made to support the Mercury. I wouldn't want to return to those directing a rehearsal of CBS
frenetic 20-hour working day years, but I miss them because they are so irredeemably Radio's The Mercury Theatre on
gone. the Air (1938)
Orson Welles to friend and mentor Roger Hill, February 22, 1983[2]:53

pause tonight to mark
the death of him

is done."[145]
