{"value"=>"<p>The radio program, <span class=\"title\">The Second Mrs. Burton</span>, aired from 1946 until November 25, 1960 and was the last radio soap opera. It was on from Monday to Friday at 2 PM and ran each day for 15 minutes. The story line dealt with a family in a small American town, with Terry Burton, the second wife, struggling for a good life amidst her husband's scheming ex-wife and his mother's often crude ways. Writers for the series included Martha Alexander, John M. Young, Hector Chevigny, Priscilla Kent and Johanna Johnston. The cast changed through time with Claire Niesen, Sharon Douglas, Patsy Campbell, Teri Keane and Jan Miner all playing Terry Burton. Others of the cast included Dwight Weist, Evelyn Varden, Ethel Owen, Alice Frost and Larry Robinson.</p>"}
