the original airing of war of the worlds the history of this airing is amazing maybe we will do a full podcast about this airing 1 day soon.. Orson wells is 1 of my favorites i have a real appreciation for the underdogs .orson wells is particularly interesting because he isnt really the typical underdog . however after this recording became headlines news he was hired by RKO at age 23 and given carte_blanche to write and direct whatever he wanted no questions asked he struggled with this and wil the help of of Herman J Mankiewicz produced arguably the greatest movie of all time at the age of 25 years old
