Hello Americans was a 12-episode radio show created by Orson Welles, which focused on Latin and South American culture. The show was inspired by Welles&#39; interest in these regions and his time spent in Brazil working on the film It&#39;s All True. The program featured a generally lighthearted tone, with Welles enjoying himself throughout the series. Despite moments of seriousness and occasional melodramatics, the show was able to present Central and South American countries in a positive light, emphasizing their interesting history and people without condescension. The episodes were also peppered with editorial insertions, primarily addressing racism and occasionally taking aim at fascism.</p><p>Hello Americans was broadcast during 1942 and 1943 as a documentary drama series that detailed Welles&#39; South American adventures, developed under the auspices of the CIA. The show explored various aspects of South American culture, from the Andes Mountains to the cities of Brazil. Notable guests on the program included Hans Conried, Gerald Mohr, Laird Cregar, Agnes Moorehead, Ray Collins, and Carmen Miranda. The series was also included in the updated Orson Welles Collection.
