Whispering Streets is an American radio romance drama that was broadcast from March 3, 1952, until November 25, 1960, first on ABC and later on CBS. Overview Described as a series of "dramas played daily by professionals and laborers — by people who live in mansions — and by those who live across the tracks", TV Radio Mirror magazine wrote in 1955 that each week offered "a new, dramatic story that takes us one step farther down life's path and helps us to understand more fully the whisperings we ourselves hear." Whispering Streets began as a 20-minute program on weekdays with each episode containing a complete story. From 1956 on, it ran 15 minutes on weekdays, and stories spanned five episodes.

Ted Lloyd was the producer, with Gordon Hughes and Bruno Zirato Jr. as the directors. Margaret Sangster was the
