This is My Best
(1945) A short-lived series of dramatic adaptions, similar to Mercury Theatre on the Air, but with thirty-minute episodes broadcast with a live studio audience. Sponsored by Cresta Blanca wine.
Generally considered not among Welles's best work on radio, this series was hampered by both its half-hour length and the limits of performing before a studio audience.
