Throwback Thursday: Orson Welles’s War of the Worlds
Normally for Throwback Thursday I post some random video out of the archives of one of us Nerd & Tie-ers (we need a decent name for that), but this time around we’re doing something different.
On this day in 1938 the Orson Welles radio adaptation of H.G. Wells’s “The War of the Worlds” aired across America. While the press at the time over-hyped the mass hysteria that supposedly ensued, the event has gone down as myth and legend.
And I wonder if all of you have actually listened to it? Because I think you should. And thanks to the Internet Archive, you can! So sit back for an hour and enjoy The War of the Worlds.
