The March of Time

I'd Rather Be Right

English · Radio

The March of Time presents dramatized news reports that bring current events and public affairs to the radio. Rather than offering a single narrator’s account, the program uses performers, dialogue, and sound to recreate the people and situations behind the headlines.

Its documentary-style format blends reporting with dramatic scenes, giving listeners a sense of how political and social developments affect those involved. The title “I’d Rather Be Right” suggests a focus on a pointed public issue, while the program’s broader approach turns news into an immediate, theatrical listening experience.

The result is a distinctive mix of journalism and radio drama: topical, serious in tone, and shaped to make distant events feel vivid and human.
