Episode Eighty-seven - The Making of "War of the Worlds"

Ever wanted to know what goes into making a radio play? No? Too bad! On this episode of the Revival League Podcast, Greg, Ryan and special guest Erik Koski chat about the making of the Revival League's Halloween special, "War of the Worlds." Greg, Ryan and Erik talk about the writing, direction and production of the podcast's most ambitious episode yet, with side trips to chat about the Orson Welles radio play, the George Pal movie version, and the enduring themes of the H.G. Wells novel. Plus, we hear from Ron McAdams, Kate Page, James Rohling and Erica Rodriguez, who discuss their experience being part of an old-fashioned radio drama. All this and an insensitive Irish stereotype, this week on the Revival League Podcast!
