My single favorite old time radio show ?

Although my favorite radio series is Vic and Sade, the CBS Radio Workshop episode: Subways are for Sleeping is my single favorite old time radio show episode:

It's the true story of a homeless man in New York, Henry Shelby after World War II.  This show was adapted from the Edmund G. Love article in the March 1956 issue of Harper's Magazine:

There was also a book by Edmund G. Love which contained the Henry Shelby story but also had other stories of homeless folks in New York City.  It also reveals what happened to Henry Shelby.

There's a wiki for the Broadway musical version of Subways are for Sleeping:

The cast was impressive (Orson Bean and Phyllis Newman) and the production team was first rate: music was by Jule Styne and the writing team of Betty Comden and Adolph Green did the lyrics and dialogue - but I was unimpressed by the songs.

In a strange way the radio show Subways are for Sleeping reminds me of the PBS pledge favorite: Alone in the Wilderness

Henry Shelby and Dick Proeneke were both alone - it was just that Shelby was alone in the midst of millions of other people :)
