Remember WENN made me homesick for a past that isn't even mine.


At WENN in Pittsburgh, it's the early years of World War II and each day at this small station it's one thing after the other as the small cast and crew struggle to perform day-to-day programming on a shoestring budget. They're not afraid to try anything new, be it from a new line in detective stories to the radical idea of a radio talk show. The performers include Mackie Bloom, the "Man of a Thousand Voices;" Hilary Booth, the sharp-tongued ex-Broadway actress, and her husband Jeffrey Singer, he of the roving eye--plus curiously silent special effects master Mr. Foley (it's a treat every week just to see how Mr. Foley doesn't speak this time) and our intrepid support staff, including young writer Betty Roberts, whose own introduction to WENN parallels our own.
