One Man's Experience, also known as One Man's Story, is a DuMont Television Network anthology TV show[1] written and produced by Lawrence Menkin (1911-2000). The show aired Monday through Friday[1] at 2:30pm ET from October 6, 1952, to April 10, 1953. The 15-minute show aired back-to-back with another 15-minute show, One Woman's Experience[1] which aired at 2:45pm ET.

Some sources suggest that these episodes were also aired during the DuMont series Monodrama Theater which aired at 11pm ET from May 1952 until December 7, 1953.

The series adapted literary classics about men's struggles into serial form. The title changed from One Man's Experience to One Man's Story in early 1953.[1]

Episode status

As with many DuMont series, no episodes are known to exist.
