ABC Radio Workshop

1901–1956 · 2 episodes · 28 listens

The ABC Radio Workshop was a 30 minute science fiction/fantasy series, also known as 'Think'.

There doesn't seem to be many surviving recordings, although 'Mars is Heaven', a story adapted from the science fiction classic The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury, and 'The Word' by Arch Oboler were well received.
