Tune in today as we are getting into some classic sci-fi with Mr. Orson Welles himself and his Radio Broadcast of War of the Worlds, which has more or less become the most famous radio broadcast in history. In this episode we will give you a history on Mr. Welles' life leading up to the Broadcast in 1938, the panic that it caused, some notable re-makes, and how the real story is probably far different than what most people know. We even give you some thoughts on future versions and the power of media in our daily lives!
