On the evening of VE Day, May 8, 1945, Norman Corwin, known as the ''poet laureate of radio drama,'' presented a radio programme that galvanized and electrified the nation. The broadcast, ''On a Note of Triumph,'' was a moment that would mark the end of a long national struggle, and, in another sense, set a new standard for the art of radio drama. Featuring interviews with Robert Altman, Norman Lear, Studs Terkel and Walter Cronkite, A Note of Triumph: The Golden Age of Norman Corwin examines the greatest radio presentation in the history of the medium and shows how it remains eerily prescient in light of current events.
