Redbook Dramas

Redbook Dramas is a fascinating slice of early 1930s radio history. Originally aired in 1932, this series adapted short stories from Redbook Magazine into 15-minute audio dramas that offered a mix of love, mystery, adventure, and romance. It was produced during the Great Depression, and some episodes—like He Knew Women and Kiss and Jail—reflected the era’s hardships, while others transported listeners to far-flung locales like Yucatán, Dalmatia, and Manchuria. The characters were just as colorful: a goat-owning Army private who causes chaos, a schoolteacher posing as a coffin collector, and a Holmes-like maid solving a murder in the Arctic. The series featured authors like Elaine Carrington and Frank R. Adams, both notable figures in early 20th-century storytelling.
