Orson Welles radio creditsFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a comprehensive listing of the radio programs made by Orson Welles. Welles was often uncredited for his work, particularly in the years1934–1937, and he apparently kept no record of his broadcasts.[1]:77

Radio is what I love most of all. The wonderful excitement of what could happen in live radio, when everything that could gowrong did go wrong. I was making a couple of thousand a week, scampering in ambulances from studio to studio, and committingmuch of what I made to support the Mercury. I wouldn't want to return to those frenetic 20-hour working day years, but I missthem because they are so irredeemably gone.

— Orson Welles to friend and mentor Roger Hill, February 22, 1983[2]:53
