  • Isn't this what we see now on YouTube and in podcasts? I think Welles was disagreeing with the over-specialization in media: his radio plays, which he wroted, produced and played in when he and radio were very young remain unsurpassed. Maybe he was yearning for the excitement of that time.

  • sure he wrote them? recheck that.

  • Thanks for the correction. He normally had script writers - notably John Houseman - though he did participate in the adaptations, and sometimes wrote them himself.

  • What a comment! Furthermore, there was no demand for YouTube until YouTube existed!

  • I'm not sure what he's getting at. The first storytellers were performers, therefore everyone is a performer?
