You Are There is a unique educational radio series that focuses on bringing history to life by using a modern network newsroom approach to report on great events of the past. Created by Goodman Ace, the program features announcers and wartime correspondents such as Richard C. Hottelet, John Daly, and Don Hollenbeck, who immerse the listener in the unfolding events through realistic dialogue and character interactions. The creative use of sound effects and actors, directed by Robert Lewis Shayon, provides an engaging and thought-provoking experience, allowing listeners to imaginatively participate in major historical events.

The show was originally broadcast from 1947 to 1950, airing a total of 90 episodes under the titles "CBS Is There" and "You Are There." Currently, only 75 of these episodes are known to exist in recorded form. In addition to the radio series, You Are There also transitioned to television in 1953, with Walter Cronkite as the regular host, and aired until 1957. A revival took place from 1971 to 1972, with Cronkite once again serving as the host. Notable guest stars included John Cassavetes, James Dean, Paul Newman, Jeanette Nolan, Kim Stanley, Rod Steiger, Beatrice Straight, and Joanne Woodward.

Performers: Richard C. Hottelet, John Daly, Don Hollenbeck, Canada Lee, Martin Gabel, John Cassavetes, James Dean, Vivi Janiss, Paul Newman, Jeanette Nolan
