We Came This Way was a series of docudramas produced as part of NBC University of The Air, which aired educational programs between 1942 and 1948. The show focused on the development of American culture, values, legal systems, and ideals from the earliest origins in the Magna Carta to modern times. Events and stories covered included Joan of Arc, Valley Forge, the French Revolution, and Walt Whitman.

Produced during World War II, in 1944, the show was more educational than propagandist, illustrating the struggle for freedom and democracy throughout history. The series was highly regarded for its thought-provoking content, high production standards, and the involvement of radio and film stars like Dana Andrews. We Came This Way is still appreciated by students of history and fans of radio drama today.
