2. It's not a You are there tape... |
|
But they do use charactor actors to read the parts of the various players...
All from transcripts and private letters...

I remember vividly one of his YAT episodes on tv (It when I was a little girl). He was doing the great San Francisco fire. He was in a boat and talking to people going past in other boats with the city in flames in the background.
Edit: Or it could have been the Chicago fire. It was a long time ago when I saw that as a kid!
