Norman Corwin (1910-2011) was the Grand Master of American Radio Theatre, and his final effort is extraordinarily timely today. In 1941, this program confronted an America more divided, more polarized, than at any time since the Civil War — and this new version, updated for the 21st Century, does the same. This brilliantly fascinating program reminds us to remember what we have in common, where we agree, and how we all still stand together — so we can tone down the anger and deal with our differences without hatred and violence.
A group of Americans from coast to coast talk about what the United States means, and try to discover how to deal with their differences without hatred and violence. This lively, fascinating and extremely timely production was the last script from Norman Corwin, acclaimed as the Grand Master of American Radio Theatre.

Thank you for this podcast. It was great to hear people talking about what America can be.
Most of our current media is schlock without purpose.
