This Is My Best, for this his first episode as producer and host, Welles chose to do an adaptation of one of his favorite stories, Heart of Darkness, the Joseph Conrad novel. This episode aired Tuesday, March 13, 1945.

This Is My Best aided on CBS Radio from 1944 to 1946 with only 39 episodes.

After several guest appearances, in March 1945 Welles took over as producer, writer, host and star. However, he was fired after only seven episodes. Welles' suffered strained relations with the show's nominal director, Don Clark, complaining that Clark could be "very drunk" in the studio, whilst Welles annoyed Clark by effectively taking the directing out of his hands. Other power struggles and disagreements led to Clark firing Welles. [parts from Wikipedia]
