CBS Radio Workshop
by William N. Robson and William Froug
Perhaps it was Finney’s success in the 50s that encouraged the experimental CBS Radio
Workshop to air their only time-travel fantasy in their penultimate episode, “Time
Found Again” from a 1935 Mildred Cram story. Earlier in the series, they did other
science fiction including a musical version of Heinlein’s “The Green Hills of
Earth,” Pohl and Kornbluth’s The Space Merchants, Huxley’s Brave New
World, two Bradbury character sketches, and more.
Bart: Do you think it’s possible for a person to go back in
time?
George: Well, you know there is a theory that nothing is lost, nothing is destroyed.
Bart: Then you do believe it’s possible?
George: Anything is possible, Bart, to a degree.
Science has proved that. It’s conceivable, with concentration and imagination, that a
person might, for a moment, escape from the present into the past.
