There’s been a murder in studio one, and everyone’s a suspect. Recorded live at the Minetta Lane Theatre, a dozen Today and NBC News anchors take center stage in this hilarious radio play. First released in 1941, Murder in Studio One is a whodunit following a female private eye and her fast-talking sidekick as they reluctantly take the case of a murder in a New York radio station. Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb lead an all-star NBC News cast in the comedic mystery produced in partnership with Audible. Dateline’s Keith Morrison lends his iconic voice as the narrator. Written by Norman Corwin, Murder in Studio One has been adapted with permission from the Norman Corwin Administrative Trust.

Today show cast great but story line just ok

Great characters but I was not a great story line. Maybe if I seen it versus listened.

Mediocre story

The actors were very good, but the storyline confused me to a most severe degree.

Storyline Bland…

This audiobook just didn’t do it for me. I like to feel like I’m there or I can picture the whole story unfold in front of me. “Murder in Studio One” didn’t make me feel like that. The actors seem like they were reading their lines straight from the script. They didn’t come off as realistic. The whole group of characters needed more round-table rehearsals so that they would sound more natural. My recommendations are that you can listen for yourself and come to your own conclusion.

Give me a break

A high school senior play starring all the teacher`s pets like Meathead and Gloria. Why 2 stars? Because that is a lot more than I could bear to endure but I know it required a lot of prep time to put together. How did I even download this? I hope it was an audible free-bee.

Entertaining

I’m sure this was a fun project for the Today Show cast, The plot was a little bit far fetched and confusing but it was fun to hear the morning hosts get into character.
