  • Front Page Drama: A Child is Born

    Front Page Drama: A Child is Born
    Apr 27 2026
    This episode of Front Page Drama presents “A Child is Born,” a gripping dramatization drawn from real-life accounts of the fight against narcotics trafficking.

    The story follows Julia Kaye, once a celebrated Broadway figure, whose life has been upended by morphine addiction. When she discovers she is expecting a child, she turns to a determined physician who offers a slim but urgent hope: saving the baby from the same fate.

    As Julia undergoes a difficult and closely guarded treatment, forces beyond her control begin to close in—threatening both her recovery and the fragile future of her child. The tension builds through a race against time, where secrecy, courage, and trust become as vital as medicine. Produced as part of a long-running series tied to The American Weekly,

    Front Page Drama often dramatized stories drawn from contemporary social concerns. This episode stands as a stark and emotional example of how radio sought to confront difficult issues through storytelling that was both urgent and deeply personal.

    Apr 20 2026
    Aired: 1956 (Series Release)

    More than just a list of great names, the episode captures the perspective of a witness to baseball’s formative years, offering a snapshot of how the sport—and its legends—were understood in the mid-20th century.
