Adventures of Danny Marsdon: Programme Guide.
A newspaper assignment becomes a way to ask what makes a country work. Danny Marsdon brings public questions into a dramatic setting, with recordings about work, citizenship, education and the responsibilities people share.
Broadcast history.
Jerry Haendiges' researched log identifies a CBC and Canadian Chamber of Commerce production, with thirteen programmes dated from 6 October to 29 December 1948. The entries run for approximately thirteen minutes and present social questions through dramatised newspaper articles.
Cast and creative team.
The historical log identifies the producing organisations but does not name the actors, writer or director. Those personal credits remain unconfirmed here. Danny Marsdon is the programme's character, not a verified performer credit.
Where to begin.
Out of the Ivory Tower · What Is a Canadian? · Education
The first two open the sequence in the researched log. Education offers a further available topic from later in the run.
An interesting detail.
The historical log calls its sixth entry Security, while HRV lists a recording as Social Security. This guide records the difference without changing the existing title or claiming that an audio comparison has settled it.
Listening appeal.
Choose a subject that interests you, then listen to how the programme frames its argument. It offers a useful encounter with the language and concerns of its period; the dramatic viewpoint should be considered in that historical context.
Collection and date notes.
HRV lists thirteen public recordings, matching the number of titles in the historical log. Matching counts alone do not verify every transfer or title. Personal production credits remain a research gap. Podcast dates describe modern publication.
