Directed by Harry W. Junkin, with music by Dr. Roy Shield, and announcers Bob Warren (1948–49) and Fred Collins (1949–50), the series presented original radio dramas regardless of the fame of the author, so long as they were considered 'good'.
[citation needed] Richard McDonagh, who managed the script division of NBC, said that writers were encouraged "to tell a story in their own fashion" in a way suitable to radio.
[2] Writers for the series included John Galsworthy, Cornell Woolrich,[3] Ernest Kinoy,[4] and Ray Bradbury.
[6] Others were John Larkin, Jan Miner,[3] Claudia Morgan,[7] Bernard Grant,[8] and at least one hyphenate, Dolores Sutton, who both co-wrote and co-starred in Sibling, the episode airing on December 11, 1949.
[15] A review of the July 3, 1948, episode in the trade publication Variety commended Junkin's directing and star Jan Minor's performance.
