Escape is a dramatic adventure anthology radio series that captivated listeners with its thrilling and suspenseful episodes. Each of the more than 200 episodes was a meticulously crafted micro-drama designed to hold the audience's attention for 30 minutes. The show offered adaptations of classic works by famous writers, as well as original stories by up-and-coming talent. Escape was known for its brilliant scriptwriting and superb production quality, often providing more dramatically focused and atmospheric adaptations than more high-profile shows like Suspense. It captured the essence of radio drama and continues to enthrall listeners today.

The show aired between 1947 and 1954 and was broadcast on CBS Radio. A total of 228 episodes were produced during its seven-year run, and many of them remain in good condition today. Despite its irregular scheduling and the lack of a consistent timeslot, Escape was highly popular during its time on air. Among the notable actors involved in the production were William Conrad, John Dehner, Jack Webb, Elliott Lewis, and Frank Lovejoy. A television counterpart of the show also aired on CBS TV for a few months in 1950, further solidifying its legacy in the history of broadcast entertainment.
