Radio Broadcast Log Of:
The General Mills Adventure Theater

The series was an attempt at the way radio was, 15 years after dramatic radio left the air in 1962. It was produced with a young audience in mind but just couldn’t last beyond the first year of its life. Many first rate radio actors are heard throughout these episodes.
