"Biography in Sound" was a radio documentary series that aired from 1954 to 1956. Produced by NBC, the series was created by Norman Corwin, a prolific writer and director who had already made a name for himself in the world of radio broadcasting. Each episode of "Biography in Sound" focused on a notable historical figure or contemporary public figure, offering a mix of archival recordings, interviews with people who knew the subject, and dramatizations of key moments in their lives.

Some of the subjects covered on the show included Abraham Lincoln, Charles Lindbergh, Helen Keller, Thomas Edison, and Winston Churchill. The series was innovative in its use of sound effects and music to enhance the dramatic impact of each episode. It was also notable for its use of narration by a single host, usually the actor and announcer Dwight Weist.

"Biography in Sound" was well-received by critics and listeners alike, winning numerous awards and earning high ratings during its two-year run. The series is considered an important example of the golden age of radio documentary-making, and many of its episodes are still available for listening today, offering a unique glimpse into the lives of some of the most fascinating people of the 20th century.
