The Columbia Workshop was the first to\nexperiment with what radio drama was all about, introducing new techniques\nnever before used in over the airwaves drama and because it received little\nencouragement from established writers, actors, etc., it was only by breaking\nnew ground with new ideas and new techniques from writers who were not versed\nin the old ways that it was going to survive. Unlike theater drama which\nrequired scenery to stage the settings of a play. Radio drama relied only on\nthe imagination of the listener to interpret the scene.\n
