This is a captioned version of a declaration by Orson Welles quoted in "Theatre of the Imagination" (1988)A radio special about the Mercury Theatre on the Air hosted by Leonard Maltin, featuring interviews with the surviving members. The full broadcast is at http://www.mercurytheatre.info/
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.

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