This is a comprehensive listing of the radio programs made by Orson Welles. Welles was often uncredited for his work, particularly in the years 1934–1937, and he apparently kept no record of his broadcasts.

I wouldn't want to return to those frenetic 20-hour working day years, but I miss them because they are so irredeemably gone.
