The Language of Radio
In an interview with Contemporary Authors, Boretz states that radio is the medium that taught him about language and that he “fell in love with it while writing for radio.” Even though his career in radio ended when he transitioned to writing for television, his work for radio series like Big Town,Voices of America, and Exploring the Unknown showcase Boretz's early foray into writing challenging topics.
Below is a selection of Boretz's radio scripts from 1944 - 1955. These scripts are a small sampling of the larger collection available at the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research. Online access to partial and full versions of Boretz's radio scripts can be found on the page "Access to the Full Collection."
