Introducing WBEZ's latest podcast series, Making: Stories Without End. Host
Natalie Moore takes you on a journey to learn about daytime soap operas and their
broad reach on television. From the early radio days in the 1930s through the
invention of TV to streaming, this way of telling immersive stories has endured.
There are intergenerational family stories, discussions about divorce and abortion,
groundbreaking storylines dealing with queer representation. And all these threads
go back to one Chicago woman, Irna Phillips. The queen of soaps originated, wrote or
supervised more than a dozen daytime serials for more than 40 years… and left a
lasting mark on the television industry. You’ll hear the story behind the stories
from scholars, actors, writers – from the past and now – as well as fans.
