Project Audion Episode 79: Doctor Christian(021526)

Project Audion is back with Doctor Christian, which starred Jean Herscholt, was a popular and long-running light drama series about a small town doctor and the wide range of people he helped. While completing college, Rod Serling submitted a script about a boxer who was facing the fight of his life - titled "To Live a Dream." Entered into the annual Dr. Christian scriptwriting contest, it came in second place, and gave Serling his first income from writing, his first national broadcast...and was a first step of Rod Serling's own dream. It's a surprisingly polished and intense first step, at that! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
