Chapter Two of Edy Hurst's Podcast Version of The War of the Worlds, an audio-scrap-book into the seminal scifi novel The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells.

In the second episode, we hear more about the falling stars spotting in the sky above Woking, and follow Ogilvy (Voiced by Hannah Platt) as they discover the crash site on Horsell Common. We also meet London journalist Henderson (voiced by Josh Jones) and do a deep dive into the world of news reporting in Victorian times and now.

Josh has a fabulous podcast all about history called Dead Drama
