Show Notes

CBS Radio Workshop presents “Report on E.S.P.,” episode 7, originally broadcast on March 9, 1956. This early installment of CBS’s experimental dramatic anthology was produced by William Froug and directed by Jack Johnstone.

In a documentary-drama approach, the program examines alleged cases of extrasensory perception, including reports of telepathy and clairvoyance, through dramatized incidents and discussion of paranormal investigation. The cast includes Raymond Burr, John McIntire, and Stacy Harris.

Old Time Sci-Fi Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
