Erik Bauersfeld
Erik Bauersfeld was born on June 28, 1922 in Brooklyn, New York. From the first moment his father introduced him to radio sounds he was hooked, because of that and a lifelong love and
dedication to his craft, he is one of the foremost American radio dramatists, and for over forty years has been one of the most distinguished names in cultural broadcasting.
In 1986 Bauersfeld established the Bay Area Radio Drama (BARD) there you will find a large selection of radio dramas from The Black Mass (includes 38 radio tales from 1963 - 1970) to Eugene O'Neill Plays (includes 9 radio dramas from 1987-1995) to Readings for Broadcast (1961 - 2009) and so much more!
Bauersfeld passed away on April 3, 2016. He was 94.
