Summary: War of the Worlds - actual recording
Comment: When one listens to this tape you have to realize the time that was associated with this broadcast. With people crowded around their radios, the only realy media of the day, I can understand why it had frightened so many who listened to it.

Today we have all the great graphics, sounds and the means of actually viewing this type of story. I still enjoyed this classic event from Orson Wells and listen to it while I'm driving at times.

Summary: A timeless classic that will still grab you!
Comment: In today's world of multi-million dollar special effects movies, this may seem tame...but when you consider the fact that TV hadn't even had a strong following yet, you'll realize just how shocking this broadcast was to the world at large at the time. Wells made some enemies with this broadcast simply because it was so realistic that people were panicking at the thoughts of the end of the world - even though the fact that this is a drama is stated clearly throughout. When you start listening to this, clear a good hour on your schedule because you won't want to walk away until it's over. The story is great, the actors are so real it's scary sometimes, and with Orson Wells at the helm, you know you're in for a great story!

Summary: TE MARTIANS ARE COMING! THE MARITIANS ARE COMING...Sort of.
Comment: When i first heard this radio broadcast, I got a serious case of heebie-jeebies. I saw why the country panicked when this broadcast first came out. The timing, the writing, and the sense of impending doom the plot conveyed. This is a prime example of the power of media, and a lesson to us all...
