The Columbia Radio Workshop (1936-57) aired an episode of Columbia Presents Corwin titled The Undecided Molecule on July 17, 1945. This is one of the most unusual--and without question creative--episodes we have ever run, and illustrates just how innovative radio could be in the right hands, for The Undecided Molecule not only educates while entertaining, but does so in the form of a prose poem. A prose poem you ask, with a skeptically raised eyebrow? Yes. The Undecided Molecule is clever, witty, and full of excellent wordplay as it takes on the point of view of a certain molecule, and along the way offers social commentary for the well informed listener. The kicker is that various roles are read by such luminaries of the time as Vincent Price, Groucho Marx, Robert Benchley, Sylvia Sidney, Keenan Wynn, and Norman Lloyd. Youll want to listen to this fast-paced, utterly captivating romp without interruption, for if your concentration waivers youll most assuredly miss something to make you smile.
