One of the few genuine dramatic artists in the overrated (except for some comedians) "Golden Age of Radio," Corwin wrote and produced over 100 programs, mostly in the 40s, many of which would be more celebrated today if television hadn't come along and if network radio hadn't resisted repeat broadcasts (to make the musicians' union happy)--the fact that he did one-shot programs instead of formula series didn't help either, when in the nostalgia rush of the 60s his work became forgotten for more familiar hackwork like "The Shadow"--he did win an Emmy, according to Zap2It, but the primetime awards database doesn't confirm it and there is no similar database for the other Emmys:
