  • Episode 9: Everything Old is New Again
    Radio drama resurfaced during the early days of public radio, and a generation of producers began to reinvent the form, working with actors, theatre companies, and become creative laboratories for adventurous, sonically complex productions. The advent of podcasting has re-invigorated the audio drama form even more, and today’s “audio mavericks” include producers of contemporary drama, science fiction and fantasy, and works like the popular series Welcome to Night Vale that are beyond category. This episode includes comments from Night Vale’s Jeffrey Cranor; Lauren Shippen of The Bright Sessions; Kaitlin Prest of The Heart and others who are helping to keep Himan Brown’s legacy fresh and regenerative.

    This very public man also had a private side, and Brown’s granddaughter Melina Brown and his grandson Zach Sansted share their recollections of Brown, his homes in New York City and Stamford, Connecticut and his important art collection.

  • Episode 7: The Golden Torch Keeps Burning
    Himan Brown was a busy philanthropist and producer during the two decades following the end of Golden Age broadcast radio, creating over 100 films in support of causes he believed in, and a concert series in Madison Square Garden among other projects. He also opened a production studio in Chelsea.  But Brown was finally able to return radio drama to the air with the CBS Mystery Theater, which he established in 1974. It was a fully realized artistic vision, with Brown acting as producer, director, and script editor.  He brought a new generation of actors to the medium, including Marian Seldes, Tammy Grimes, Paul Hecht, Tony Roberts, and EG Marshall, as well as continuing to work with stars of the Golden Age like Agnes Moorehead.  In this episode we’ll hear from some of them, and from Brown himself on how he assessed actors, cast them, and worked with them, as well as visiting his former studios.  Credits - Executive Producers: Melina Brown, Sarah Montague - Executive Director, CUNY TV: Chiqui Cartagena - Director of Production, CUNY TV: Susan Iger - Producer/Director: Sarah Montague - Narrator: Margot Avery - Concept and Script: Sarah Montague - Associate Producer: Corinne Wallace - Audio Production intern: Lucia Funaro - Audio Engineer, CUNY TV: Lisa Gosselin  - Senior Audio Engineer, CUNY TV: Richard Kim - Mixing: Lisa Gosselin - Sound design and final mixing: John DeLore and Bart Warshaw - Staff photographer, CUNY TV: Laura Fuchs   - Script editor: Allison Behringer - - Composer: Allison Leyton-Brown - Archivists, CUNY TV: David Rice, Catriona Schlosser -Closed Caption Coordinator: Amy Monte  - Branding and Graphic Design: Shae McMullin - Publicity & Marketing: Multitude Excerpts from the Himan Brown Oral History courtesy of Directors Guild of America, Inc. www.dga.org.

  • Episode 6: Pay Attention to the Man Behind the Curtain
    Brown was a prolific and inventive producer and packager, but he was also, as he said, “a sound guy” who shaped the sound of his shows, both in the Golden Age, and when he established CBS Mystery Theater in 1974s. This episode will explore his influence on sound design, and the distinctive “signatures” of his shows. It will also explore what sound effects and sound design contribute to a drama, and Audio Maverick’s own sound designers will share some of their secrets.

  • Episode 5: Hi and History
    As Himan Brown consolidated his success, he grew his program portfolio and impressive client base. At the onset of WWII, he not only helped to reshape existing shows in response, but created special programming designed to celebrate American’s values and what was being fought for. He also created programs in support of the Jewish community. In the 1950s, radio began to be displaced by television, and this era of Brown’s career in broadcast ended in 1959 with his last series, NBC Morning Playhouse.
