Scandal Water

Join us Tuesday, November 2nd for our first of FIVE episodes celebrating the world of television in our series, "Thankful for Television!" Candy and Ashley dive into a classic show that gave rise to a pop culture saying, a film that has become an instant modern television classic, a scandal that paved the way for westerns, a doomed turkey, and a beloved sitcom that has withstood the test of time. 

Long before podcasts, and even before TV, there was the golden age of radio. Episode 5 of Scandal Water focuses on what is arguably the most well-known radio event of all time, the broadcast of “War of the Worlds” on October 30, 1938, that sparked widespread panic. But was it as horrific and extensive as reports indicated? And why were those Americans so quick to believe their world was being invaded? Candy and Ashley explore these questions in their Armchair Psychologist segment.
