Show Notes

On October 30th, 1938, the Mercury Theater on Air, a CBS Radio Network, aired Orson Welles' adaptaion of H.G. Wells Novel "The War of the Worlds."  This sparked panic, as some of the listeners thought there was ACTAULLY a Maritan Invasion taking place.  Since this night, it has become a tradition to listen to the original broadcast. So enjoy this special episode on the 86th Anniversary of its original airing of Orson Welles "The War of the Worlds."
