Subways are for Sleeping - CBS Radio Workshop
A true story of one man’s strange adjustment to mid-century materialism in the largest city in the world. Have you ever gotten fed up with rent, taxes and bills and the clatter of telephones with all that a man’s large and small that our complicated civilization puts upon us? Henry Shelby finally did. When they locked him out of his hotel room he stayed out. For the past three years he has by choice been homeless and without a steady job. Yet, Henry Shelby is no bum he is as well dressed and as smoothly shaven as the next man you’ll meet. He is not stupid; he owns a master's degree in economics and is a former schoolteacher. He has never visited a soup kitchen or stood in a breadline or asked for a night lodging at a mission. Still, he has learned for himself how to maintain his sanity and peace of mind in a confused and confusing society, which takes from a man more than it gives. Henry Shelby has reversed the process, and this is how he does it.
The CBS Radio Workshop was an experimental dramatic radio anthology series that aired on CBS from January 27, 1956, until September 22, 1957. Subtitled “radio’s distinguished series to man’s imagination,” it was a revival of the earlier Columbia Experimental Laboratory (1931), Columbia Experimental Dramatic Laboratory (1932) and Columbia Workshop broadcasts by CBS from 1936 to 1943, and used some of the same writers and directors employed on the earlier series. The CBS Radio Workshop was one of American network radio's last attempts to hold on to, and perhaps recapture, some of the demographics they had lost to television in the post-World War II era.
