Studio X: Programme Guide.

One performer supplies a changing company of voices. Studio X turns that vocal range toward short stories whose characters may be comic, threatening or unexpectedly vulnerable.

Broadcast history.

The syndicated anthology is also catalogued as The Player and is associated with 1948. The two titles can describe related recordings from the same production rather than two unrelated series with identical scripts.

Cast and creative team.

Paul Frees performs the parts. His changes of voice create exchanges that might otherwise require several actors. The consulted recording log does not securely establish every original writer or production credit, so those remain unassigned.

Where to begin.

It's All In The Deal · The Professor Goes To A House Cleaning

These available recordings offer an introduction to this collection. Their current publication dates are separate from historical broadcast dates.

An interesting detail.

A recurring Professor story can appear beside another subject without making the entire programme one continuous Professor serial. The anthology title identifies the performance format, while each story supplies its own situation.

Listening appeal.

Try It’s All in the Deal or The Professor Goes to a House Cleaning. Compare how Frees separates characters and shifts between narrative description and conversation.

Collection and date notes.

HRV lists 17 public recordings. The seventeen records are an available selection; precise local transmission dates are not inferred from modern uploads. Current podcast dates describe later archive publication, separately from original broadcast dates.
