Thanksgiving in the Shadow of War

Norman Corwin’s Psalm for a Dark Year — A Broadcast from the Edge of 1941

On the eve of World War II, as uncertainty gripped the world, Norman Corwin delivered something unexpected—not fear, but gratitude.

In Psalm for a Dark Year, a nation on the brink pauses to give thanks… not because times are easy, but because they are not.

In this Chesterton Radio deep dive from Atchison, Kansas, we explore one of the most powerful broadcasts ever aired—where poetry meets history, and hope refuses to disappear.

What does it mean to be thankful in a dark year?
And do we still know how?

🎧 Listen in, and step into a moment when radio spoke with the voice of a civilization searching for light.
