CBS Radio Workshop
When the Mountain Fell
CBS Radio Workshop was an anthology program that brought radio drama and other forms of creative storytelling to the air. Each broadcast offered a self-contained presentation, giving writers and performers room to explore different subjects and styles rather than following one continuing cast of characters.
The series drew on the expressive possibilities of radio: dialogue, narration, music, and sound effects could build a setting and carry a story entirely through listening. Its varied material ranged across dramatic and imaginative subjects, with the title of this broadcast, “When the Mountain Fell,” suggesting a story centered on a striking event in the natural world.
The result is a crafted, theatrical listening experience, shaped by voices and sound rather than images. The anthology format makes each installment its own encounter, while the production’s attention to atmosphere and storytelling reflects radio’s ability to make a world vivid in the mind.
